Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Hull City vs Arsenal, an FA Cup fifth round replay at the KC Stadium.

Arsene Wenger's side were held to a goalless draw by the Tigers at the Emirates over a fortnight ago, thanks to an inspired performance by the visitors' second-choice stopper Eldin Jakupović.

Can Steve Bruce's men go one better by claiming a super-club scalp and progressing to the quarter-finals?

66 mins: What was Ramsey thinking? A cross from the right should be easily cleared but the Welshman heads it back towards his own goal. It curls just wide of Ospina's far post.

70 mins: The substitute Aluko steals the ball from Elneny but Monreal, who has been a calming influence since coming on, is back in position to cover and pounce on the Hull forward's poor touch.

GOAL (71 mins): A poor cross by Walcott from the left but Bruce only flicks it on to Giroud, who volleys low to slot home. Arsenal seem to be heading into the sixth round.

86 mins: Nice interplay by Walcott and Giroud, who tees up Iwobi to sidefoot an effort on goal. It's at a good height for Jakupovic to palm away.

GOAL (88 mins): Walcott is turning it around somewhat in the second half. He gets in behind down the right, firing in a low shot that deflects off Bruce and past Jakupovic.

90 mins: Campbell tries to squeeze between four Hull defenders but is blocked off well. Best be careful going near them lads, Arsenal seem to have a case of the glass ankles today.

FT: Positives for Arsenal 

  • They won for the first time in ages
  • Giroud and Walcott scored

Negatives for Arsenal

  • All those injuries

Aah but that one negative surely outweighs the positives. A centre-back pairing of Monreal and Chambers against Deeney and Ighalo? Good luck with that.
