Arsenal on alert as Akpom scores again for Hull

Arsenal may not have had the best start to the season but young Gunners loanee Chuba Akpom is flying, scoring in his second successive game for Hull City on Tuesday night.

19-year-old Akpom, who is on a season-long loan with the Tigers, scored his first professional goal on the weekend as Hull won 2-0 on the opening day.

The speedy striker struck again last night in Hull's dramatic Capital One Cup victory over fourth tier Accrington Stanley. After the first 90 minutes had finished 0-0, Akpom struck the first goal of the game in extra-time to give Hull the lead.

Another three goals were scored before the game finally finished 2-2. Akpom then scored from the spot as Hull scraped through on penalties.
