Arsene Wenger’s men put in a spirited performance to overcome a stubborn Tigers side at a packed KC Stadium by 3 goals to nil and the fans were understandably excited. The same might not be said of Hull fans, however, who probably hoped that their team would put up a stronger resistance in the face of their FA Cup final opponents.
The French tactician looks set continue a magnificent run in the Premier League that has seen his Arsenal teams appear in the Champions League for the last 10 straight years. As ever, Gunners fans took to Twitter to toast and gloat.
Ozil completed 29 of 34 passes (85%). Made 2 ball recoveries. 14 of 15 passes made in attacking 3rd. successful with 2 of 4 dribbles. #afc

I started writing the player ratings at halftime and had already given MOTM to Ramsey then.

Arsenal's last 4 goals: Ramsey assist, Ramsey goal, Ramsey assist, Poldi rebound after Ramsey shot. He's back.

Arsenal fans chanting: "Arsene give us a wave." Wenger obliges to huge cheers. All is well and forgiven.

No. four is however far from assured for the North Londoners with Everton maintaining pressure with their sensational 2-0 win over Manchester United and three games remaining to the end of 2013/14.
