Arsenal loanee responds from tantrum to score FA Cup hat-trick for Hull at Bury
CHUBA AKPOM celebrated his first senior hat-trick to send the 2014 finalists into the fifth round but admitted his temper could easily have cut short his season-long loan at Hull.
Chuba Akpom's hat-trick was enough to see off Bury
Arsenal's England Under-21 striker threw a tantrum last month after being substituted, hurling his gloves towards the dug-out to test manager Steve Bruce's patience.
"I could have been sent back to Arsenal by another manager," said Akpom. "Now I let my anger show more on the pitch and by working harder. I can only learn from that. The gaffer sat me down and said he loves my competitive side, just not like that. I learned more from that than if he had sent me home.
"I have got my head down since and I won't do that again. I just want to play. Sometimes I come across the wrong way. I was frustrated, but I get on with it now."
