GUNNERS GO TOP
Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard were on target as Arsenal earned a vital 2-0 win against Wolves at Molineux Stadium to return to the top of the Premier League.
Arsenal enjoyed the best of the possession in the first half, but it was Wolves who came closest to breaking the deadlock when Joao Gomes’ close-range effort was tipped onto the post by David Raya.
In a first half where they needed to be patient, Arsenal remained persistent and eventually took the lead on the stroke of half-time when Leandro Trossard’s sliced effort crashed off the post and into the net.
Mikel Arteta’s side threatened to double their lead in a dominant second half, but Wolves managed to keep the Gunners at bay to remain in contention.
However, Arsenal finally broke the home side down for a second time when Odegaard rolled the ball into the net from a tight angle deep into added time.
The result means Arsenal go above Manchetser City and into first place for the time being, as Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand.
Arsenal will have the chance to further extend their lead at the top of the table when they host Chelsea on Tuesday, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

CAN ARSENAL HOLD ON?
They'll leapfrog Man City and return to the top of the table if stays like this. Less than a minute of normal time to play.

PLAY RESUMES
Wolves are temporarily down to 10 after Lemina's treatment, but he'll be ok to carry on.

RAYA CLASHES WITH LEMINA
The goalkeeper comes off his line to claim the ball high in the air but collides with Lemina.
Raya does nothing wrong, but it looks painful for the Wolves man nonetheless.

INTO THE FINAL TEN MINUTES
This could be a nervy finish for the Gunners, with only one goal between maximum and dropped points.
Wolves are growing into the game in the late stages and could pose a threat with their fresh legs.

BRILLIANT DEFENDING FROM KILMAN
Odegaard slips the ball into Jesus who makes a run into the box but is quickly dispossessed by the Wolves defender who swiftly gets the danger clear.
That could have kept the home side in the tie.

ARSENAL BREAK FORWARD
Red and white shirts flood the box as Saka clips in a ball from the right. Havertz gets on the end of it, but his lacklustre effort is coolly hooked away by Kilman.

TROSSARD REPLACED
Saka is looking pretty leggy out on that right-hand side, but it's the goalscorer who is brought off for Gabriel Martinelli.

WOLVES STILL IN THIS
Arsenal have dominated the second half and have so far kept Wolves at bay, but they haven't been able to add to their first-half lead.
You wonder if that could come back to bite them.
