ARSENAL 1-2 HULL CITY

Some of the longest odds in Premier League were on offer for this game as bookies wrote off any chance that Hull City could pick up anything from the Emirates Stadium. 60 matches have been played at the ground, with Arsenal losing just once - and never when they had scored.

When Paul McShane unfortunately got the final touch in to his own net to put the Gunners' one up early in the second half, a barrage was expected to follow. What happened next was simply unbelievable.

Brazilian forward Geovanni's sumptuous strike from 30 yards across Manuel Almunia and in to the top corner is a goal of the season contender in itself, but 4 minutes later the visiting fans were in further ecstasy as Daniel Cousin scored his first for the club, gently guiding a corner in to the far corner, above the leap of Cesc Fabregase to leave the home side stunned.

Phil Brown greeted every save, every tackle and every clearance with two clenched fists in the air as the clock was running down, with Arsenal's knack of late goals very much still on the cards as attack after attack was launched.

The full time whistle blew and the Hull manager said afterwards it was an absolute dream of his to win at the ground - a first win for the Tigers over Arsenal since 1915.
