Steve Bruce's Hull side battled hard against Arsenal, looking to cause an FA Cup upset in Satuday's first game, eventually managing to keep a clean sheet against their Premier League opponents.

The Championship club had only one man to thank for this, Eldin Jakupovic, who with the refelexes of a very focused cat, single-handedly kept the Gunners at bay with a string of fantastic saves - finishing the match with 11 in total, many of them world class.

The Bosnian-born, Swiss international, keeper was in superb form and his performance won him plenty of fans on social media.

The 0-0 draw means Hull earned themselves a replay against Arsenal, the last thing Arsene Wenger would have wanted with his side looking like having their most realistic shot this season at the Premier League title for a number of years.
