Arsenal add to Hull's woe

An Alexis Sanchez-inspired Arsenal took their chance to pull even on points with second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory at Hull on Monday.

The Gunners are still behind City on goal difference but have a game in hand on their table rivals.

Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring in the 28th minute, when his curled free-kick from just outside of the 18-yard box glanced off Michael Dawson's head before nestling into the net for the Chilean's 15th goal of the league season.

Alexis Sanchez was the star of the show in a sensational first half for Arsene Wenger's men.
