Arsenal struck twice late on to see off brave Hull on Saturday and claim a 3-1 win that keeps them in touch with the Premier League's top four.Hull had looked set to frustrate the Gunners for the second time this season when Daniel Cousin cancelled out Emmanuel Adebayor's first-half opener after 65 minutes. Those heady days seem a long time ago now for Hull, who despite their encouraging display, have now lost their last five league outings. Adebayor's goal, only his third in nine games, initially seemed to justify his inclusion in an unchanged Arsenal side ahead of Bendtner, the match-winning substitute against Bolton last week. Hull fielded an unfamiliar line-up. After playing under-strength sides in the midweek FA Cup win at Newcastle, six changes were not unexpected but Ryan France and Peter Halmosi surprisingly retained their places. There was a debut for new signing Kevin Kilbane at left-back while yesterday's loan recruit from Manchester United, Manucho, was on the bench. France's unexpected start, after spending most of the campaign in the reserves, meant he became the fourth Hull player to play in all four divisions for the club. Geovanni, scorer of Hull's first goal at the Emirates, had the game's first chance after two minutes. The Brazilian confused the Arsenal defence with a late run while two otherHull players stood in offside positions but he scuffed his shot. A chance opened up for Nathan Doyle moments later but the right-back shot straight at Manuel Almunia from distance. Arsenal's first opportunity came from a free-kick and Robin van Persie almost got lucky as his firm effort was deflected narrowly wide by Michael Turner.
"When they scored to make it 1-1 I was a bit worried. But we stuck together and played some good football," van Persie told Setanta Sports 1.
"The win was really important because this was a difficult away game. The first game was in our minds, it was tough for us to come back."
