Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck's stoppage time equaliser denied Hull City a priceless victory and also ensured that the Gunners did not endure a miserable start to their ongoing Premier League campaign.

Though Alexis Sanchez had given the hosts an early lead in the 13th minute, a disputed Mohamed Diame strike and an Abel Hernandez header put Hull ahead.

However, Welbeck rescued a point by guiding in a clever Sanchez pass in the first minute of stoppage time, The BBC reported.

Arsenal, who looked set to equal their 2011-12 opening season form, were rescued by Welbeck's fifth goal in seven appearances.Still, the draw means that Arsenal has won just one of their past seven league matches and lose more ground on leaders Chelsea.

Moreover, Arsenal's bad luck continued with injuries to midfielders Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey. 

Manager Arsene Wenger said that it was a very disappointing result because they were very unlucky with the referee's decision for the first goal. He added that Hull had two shots and scored two goals, and it is a long time since they have dominated so much and not won the game.

Hull manager Steve Bruce said that his side deserved to hang on despite intense pressure by Arsenal late on in the game. He also concluded that they have injury issues to Nikica Jelavic', Stephen Harper and Michael Dawson.
