Arsenal Bounce Back With Convincing Victory Over Wolves
After a turbulent week that saw Arsenal suffer a league defeat and European elimination, Mikel Arteta’s side put on a strong display to secure a crucial 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. The win moved Arsenal to the top of the Premier League table and also marked a club-record sixth consecutive away league clean sheet, showing the team’s defensive solidity and resilience.
The visitors wasted no time in asserting their dominance, with Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka testing the Wolves goalkeeper early on. Despite Wolves growing in confidence during the first half, it was Leandro Trossard who broke the deadlock with a sublime finish, marking his ninth league goal of the season and showing Arsenal’s attacking capability.
As the game progressed, Arsenal continued to push forward, with Havertz and Ben White coming close to extending the lead. However, Wolves threatened with substitute Mario Lemina forcing a save from Arsenal’s goalkeeper, David Raya. The Gunners determined to protect their lead, opted to absorb pressure and hit Wolves on the counter-attack.
In the final stages of the game, Arsenal sealed the victory as Martin Odegaard calmly slotted home to secure a sixth consecutive head-to-head victory over Wolves. The result leaves Arsenal filled with confidence as they maintain their position at the top of the table, while Wolves find themselves winless in five matches and with little left to play for this season.
