24 mins: A fine burst from the bright looking Odubajo is blocked off by Chambers. Again Arsenal counter with pace, Giroud cutting out to the left, but there's no-one in the box to thread through.
27 mins: Time is still passing here. Just nothing much is happening.Extra time, and the death of my dream of getting home early, is looking tediously inevitable.
29 mins: Chambers is struggling in defence and he gives away a free-kick in a dangerous area, tripping Meyler 25 yards out on the left flank.
30 mins: Fabulous work from David Ospina again after his impressive work against Spurs. Powell's free-kick goes nowhere but ricochets around the area before Meyler slams an effort at goal through a crowd of bodies, Ospina getting down well to his right.He's back up quickly to paw away the rebound.
32 mins: Mertesacker's day is done, he comes off for Nacho Monreal. Should he have been brought back on in the first place?
33 mins: A couple of bookings in quick succession for Arsenal, first Elneny goes in to a foolish challenge with Meyler and picks up a yellow.Giroud is lucky to get just that as he challenges Davis, going in studs first and connecting on the Hull man's calf.
37 mins: Gibbs get space down the left and delivers a dangerous low cross that both Curtis Davies and Bruce have to clear with Giroud lurking.
49 mins: Fine hold-up play from Giroud, who moves the ball on to Iwobi. He finds Walcott, who fires a tame low effort wide when he could have run at the defence. Poor once again.
HT: Arsenal have been poor but Hull haven't been much better. They survive and prosper though, with Giroud showing a real poacher's instinct to put the Gunners ahead.
