Hull surprises Arsenal 2-1
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 09 - 2008

1 by Premier League newcomer Hull, and the season's biggest upset so far could prove costly with title rivals Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool all winning 2-0 on Saturday.
Daniel Cousin headed in a 66th-minute winner to clinch a famous victory for 104-year-old Hull in its first campaign in the top flight.
Arsenal's second defeat in 60 league matches at Emirates Stadium knocked Arsene Wenger's side off the summit, with the Gunners now two points behind leaders Chelsea and Liverpool - and just one point ahead of Hull.
“I'm more disappointed than worried,” Wenger said.
Fernando Torres ended his six-game Liverpool goal drought in the victory over crosstown rival Everton, and Man. United striker Wayne Rooney scored for the first time since April against Bolton.
Jose Bosingwa and Nicolas Anelka gave Chelsea a 2-0 win at Stoke, while Aston Villa went third by beating Sunderland 2-1.
Newcastle slumped to its fifth loss in a row with Blackburn winning 2-1. Gianfranco Zola won his second league match as West Ham manager 2-0 at Fulham, and West Bromwich Albion beat Middlesbrough 1-0.
Arsenal ended 51 minutes of frustration when Hull defender Paul McShane nudged the ball into his own net amid pressure from Cesc Fabregas after Theo Walcott had dribbled through the defense and combined with Emmanuel Adebayor.
Geovanni spectacularly leveled in the 62nd, striking a 30-meter shot that beat goalkeeper Manuel Almunia.
Hull wasn't content with its point and produced the winner four minutes later. Daniel Cousin saw Kolo Toure deflect his shot wide, but from Andy Dawson's resulting corner the Gabon forward headed in his first goal since arriving at Hull from Rangers last month.
Sampdoria holds Juve
In Rome, Juventus was held to a 0-0 draw at Sampdoria on Saturday, its second draw in four days. The closest either club came to scoring at Luigi Ferraris stadium was a shot by Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero that hit the post in the 20th minute.
In Saturday's second game, Alberto Gilardino scored his sixth goal in all competitions as Fiorentina beat Genoa 1-0.
Spurs get Liverpool
Defending champion Tottenham will have to overcome seven-time winner Liverpool to reach the League Cup quarterfinals.
Saturday's fourth-round draw also pitted Manchester United against League Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
Burnley will visit Chelsea. Arsenal hosts Wigan. Sunderland plays Blackburn. Brighton will play Derby.
League Two club Rotherham travels to Stoke, while Swansea hosts Watford. The matches take place in the week starting Nov. 10.
