Arsenal 1–0 Hull City: Ødegaard's 72nd-minute rebound sends the champions six points clear

Arsenal beat Hull City 1–0 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday 7 November 2026, captain Martin Ødegaard converting a rebound in the 72nd minute after Konstantinos Tzolakis saved Noni Madueke's shot. Hull held the champions goalless for more than an hour, and a first-half penalty award to Kai Havertz was overturned because he was offside. The win — Arsenal's ninth in ten league games — puts them six points clear at the top before Manchester City play Nottingham Forest later on Saturday, and sends them into the international break as league leaders.

What happened

Hull, back in the Premier League this season, defended in numbers and frustrated the champions for more than an hour, with the game's strangest moment in the first half: a penalty given for a foul on Havertz, then taken away because he had been offside. The breakthrough finally came from Arsenal's pressure — Madueke forced the save and Ødegaard, the captain, was first to the loose ball. One goal was enough.

Everton 3–1 Coventry City: Barry's five-minute brace turns it around and sends the Toffees fifth

Everton came from behind to beat Coventry City 3–1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday 6 November 2026 in the Premier League, Matchday 10. Yann Gboho put Coventry ahead in the 52nd minute with his first goal for the club, but Thierno Barry headed an equaliser from Vitaliy Mykolenko's cross four minutes later and bundled in a second in the 61st minute, before setting up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for the third in the 81st. The win — Everton's third in a row — sends them fifth overnight, on the night David Moyes equalled Harry Catterick's record of 592 matches in charge of the club.

  • VerifiedEverton beat Coventry City 3–1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday 6 November 2026 in Premier League Matchday 10. The scorers: Yann Gboho for Coventry (52'), then Thierno Barry (56' and 61') and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (81') for Everton. It was goalless at half-time.
  • VerifiedGboho's opener was his first goal for Coventry, in only his second league appearance. Barry's equaliser was a header from Vitaliy Mykolenko's cross; his second, five minutes later, was bundled in from barely two yards out; and Barry then provided the assist for Dewsbury-Hall's angled third, nine minutes from time.
  • VerifiedCoventry had two penalty appeals checked and not given: James Tarkowski's tangle with Caleb Yirenkyi, in which he appeared to pull the midfielder's hair with the score goalless, drew no action from VAR; and Vitalii Mykolenko's challenge on Taiwo Awoniyi was ruled to have been made fractionally outside the box. Barry's second goal also stood despite suggestions the ball had brushed his arm before crossing the line.
