Premier League leaders Arsenal needed a dramatic 94th-minute winner to edge past bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers, sealing a 2-1 victory that extended their winning run over Wolves to nine matches, Softfootball reports.
Fresh from an impressive 3-0 away win over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League , the Gunners started on the front foot and immediately asserted control. Bukayo Saka was heavily involved early on, floating in a dangerous cross that Jurrien Timber headed over, before Declan Rice failed to make clean contact with another delivery from the right.
Wolves, still reeling from a painful 4-1 defeat to Manchester United last Monday, were largely pinned back but remained disciplined, throwing bodies in the way of Arsenal's advances. Joo Gomes epitomised that resistance, bravely taking a boot to the face as the visitors attempted to slow the tempo. Despite Arsenal's dominance, it was Wolves who registered the first shot on target midway through the half, with Hwang Hee-chan racing clear but firing straight at David Raya.
