The Gunners keep the edge for fourth place

With both Arsenal and Everton playing on Easter Sunday and just a point separating the two Champions League hopefuls, only the win would ease the pressure on Arsene Wenger, who has never failed to lead Arsenal to the Champions League places.

After a decent season Hull sat comfortably in 13th but with only two wins from their last four League games Hull supporters believed their men could still end the season strongly ahead of the FA Cup final.

Both teams were evenly matched until Aaron Ramsey broke the deadlock at the 31st minute.

Hull’s afternoon worsened as instead of getting a free kick for a supposed foul by Mikel Arteta, the Gunners counterattacked with Lukas Podolski finishing.

A second Podolski goal put the match out of Hull’s reach and tightens the north Londoner’s grip on fourth place.
