    "The pass out to Walcott by Campbell was absolutely delicious - it took the entire defence out of the game. Walcott was very average in the first half, but he's got a goal and an assist now - let's hope that gets his confidence up."

    Theo Walcott

    He's not been at his best but Theo Walcott has a goal and an assist. 

    Pass of the match by Joel Campbell finds his team-mate unmarked inside the area. Walcott requires just one touch before slotting home. 

    It's Arsenal versus Watford in the quarter-finals.

    Hull 0-2 Arsenal

    Arsenal's celebrations are cut short as substitute Aaron Ramsey becomes the latest player in red and white to hobble off after lasting just 16 minutes. The medical staff at the Emirates are in for a busy, busy week.

    "That's killed it. I don't think there's any way back for Hull now but the scoreline isn't a good reflection of City's performance at all."

    "Theo Walcott makes a good run and gets his head up. It's typical centre-forward play from Giroud, just getting himself between in the area between the goalline and the six-yard line. Steve Bruce was just getting ready to make a change and really attack this game - well he's left that too late."

    Olivier Giroud

    All over. Classy finish by Olivier Giroud, who volleys home on his right foot following a clever cross by Theo Walcott. That was a quality move and finish - and it almost certainly sends holders Arsenal into the FA Cup quarter-finals.

    "That goal in the first half by Oliver Giroud has killed it a little bit for Hull, but they're plugging away and we've seen a couple of nice plays. Steve Bruce looks frustrated though."

  10. CLOSE!published at 67 mins

    Hull 0-1 Arsenal

    Hull have upped the tempo. Calum Chambers blocks Mohamed Diame's goal-bound effort before Aaron Ramsey goes ever so close to heading into his own net while attempting a clearance. That's got the crowd going.

    Hull 0-1 Arsenal

    That's more like it from Hull. A free-flowing move as Alex Bruce finds Moses Odubajo, who crosses for substitute Sone Aluko. Aluko is waiting in the area but David Ospina leaps high and gathers safely. Hull need to keep whipping in the crosses if they are to get back in to this.

    "Look at the Arsenal back line. No Mertesacker, Gabriel or Koscielny. Hull have got to have a go at it. There's no excuse. There's no way they can just allow them to play the game out. They've got to put a flying winger on to take on Flamini."

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 60 mins

    Hull 0-1 Arsenal

    Around half an hour remaining of the 90 and here comes a Hull change. Sone Aluko comes on as David Meyler is put out of his misery. The Hull skipper will not want to see Arsenal's goal any time soon.

    Hull 0-1 Arsenal

    Free-kick for Arsenal just outside the Hull area. Good opportunity. Up steps Olivier Giroud...and it doesn't even clear the wall.

    Arsenal's denfensive crisis just got a whole lot worse. Huge blow for the Gunners as Gabriel Paulista is unable to continue after taking a knock and Aaron Ramsey comes on.

    "Some referees are so quick to get their yellow card out. We've had four so far in this match, and have any of them been particularly bad fouls?"

    Hull 0-1 Arsenal

    Almost game, set and tie. A delicious dipping volley from the edge of the area by Mohamed Elneny - after Hull failed to clear a corner - is brilliantly tipped over by Eldin Jakupovic.

    Fourth booking of the game goes to Harry Maguire. The Hull defender can have few complaints after wrestling Theo Walcott to the ground as the Arsenal man threatened to power away.

    A promising Arsenal attack ends with Olivier Giroud being flagged offside. Apart from the goal the French forward has done very little.
