Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
The full-time whistle is greeted by a huge roar at the Emirates as Arsenal go four points clear at the top of the Premier League table, holding on for a nervy 2-1 win over Wolves! The Gunners looked like cruising to three points when Saka and Odegaard capped flowing moves with accurate finishes in the first 13 minutes, but the likes of Martinelli, Jesus, Trossard and Nketiah missed glaring chances to keep Wolves in the contest. There was almost a sting in the tail for Arsenal as Cunha's brilliant finish allowed O'Neil's visitors to push for an unlikely draw late on, but Arteta's men held on! They will be watching on as the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa play on Sunday, before travelling to Luton Town for their next Premier League game on Tuesday. Wolves are also in action in three days' time, looking to respond to back-to-back defeats when Burnley visit Molineux. Until then, it's goodbye from us, and we'll see you next time.
