Francis Coquelin has hailed the character shown by Arsenal in recent weeks, as the Gunners followed up their Champions League draw in Paris in midweek with a 4-1 victory at Hull on Saturday.

Alexis Sanchez netted a brace on Humberside against a Hull side reduced to 10 men by the red card shown to Jake Livermore just before half-time - while the score was 1-0 to the visitors.

The French midfielder said: "It was a good three points. It was a difficult game.

Today we showed that, even when a team comes back at us, we have the character to finish it off.
