FULL TIME: Hull City 0-4 Arsenal (Giroud x2, Walcott x2)

Theo Walcott has grabbed a brace for Arsenal! Man of the Match after also grabbing an assist.

84': Giroud tries to get his hat-trick when hr tries to turn and shoot but his shot does not have enough power and is comfortably saved by Jakupovic.

GOAL! Joel Campbell finds Theo Walcott on the left inside the box and the English striker opens his body and scores past Jakupovic into the far corner! 3-0 to Arsenal!

Oh oh! Aaron Ramsey, who came on as a second-half substitute has had to come off with an injury and Jeff Reine-Adelaide replaces the Welsh midfielder who goes straight down the tunnel.

6 - Olivier Giroud has now scored six goals in his last eight FA Cup appearances for Arsenal. Brace.

GOAL! Theo Walcott's cross is deflected into the path of Giroud and the French striker slots it home from the edge of the six-yard box! 2-0 to Arsenal!

Gabriel had to be replaced due to a muscular injury. Third centre-back injured for Arsenal now after Koscielny and Mertesacker!

SO CLOSE! Aaron Ramsey almost scores an own goal while trying to deal with a cross into the box but it goes out for a corner.

63': Hull float a dangerous cross into the box to take advantage of the shorter defenders they are up against now but Ospina makes a good catch to deny them a header.

Hull City sense blood in the water and bring on Sone Aluko for David Meyler in search of a goal against a make-shift defence

Arsenal's back-line now: Flamini, Chambers, Monreal and Gibbs!

55': Things are looking bad for Arsenal. After Mertesacker, Gabriel is now off with an injury with Aaron Ramsey coming on and a lot of changes in positions.

51': CHANCE! Elneny's volley from outside the box dips dangerously and Jakupovic is forced to tip it over the bar. But Arsenal waste the corner.

50': YELLOW CARD! Harry Maguire goes into the book for a foul.

47': YELLOW CARD! Mohamed Diame goes into the book for a foul on Nacho Monreal. That was unnecessary as he tried to win the ball back.

We're back underway at the KC Stadium!

HALF-TIME: Hull City 0-1 Arsenal. Olivier Giroud has scored the only goal of the game so far

Hull almost make it 1-1 from a free-kick with a header almost going in near the far post

1 - Olivier Giroud's goal was the first that Hull City have conceded in a competitive home match since 15th December 2015. Breached.

45': Due to the delays after injuries, FIVE minutes have been added on in the first half.

3 - Arsenal have scored with their first shot on target for the third competitive match in a row. Timely.

CLANG! A loooong range effort from Gibbs beats the keeper but hits the crossbar near the top corner! That was almost 2-0!

GOAL! Olivier Giroud makes it 1-0! A terrible back-pass from Meyler sees Giroud pounce and score with a shot that goes between the goalkeeper's legs!
