Four-Goal Win at Hull

“I got there a little while later than he did and I wasn’t able to dodge or stop myself,” Petr described the situation leading up to the penalty, for which he received a yellow card. “The only thing I regret is that the penalty ruined my clean sheet, but then again a three-point win is more important,” added Petr.

The Gunners took the lead in the 17th minute after Sánchez’s goal. In the 40th minute the same forward nevertheless failed to score from a penalty awarded for Livermole’s deliberate handball. As Livermole was subsequently sent off, Arsenal took advantage of their superiority in numbers and added another three goals in the second half.

“Although we didn’t score from the penalty we maintained the game under control and definitely deserved the win. It’s a crucial one and I’m happy we made it,” concluded Petr.
