Wolves arrived with a solid five-man defensive setup that effectively stifled Arsenal’s offensive efforts for much of the match. The Gunners found it challenging to penetrate the well-disciplined Wolves defense, leading to a match characterized by few clear scoring opportunities.

It wasn’t until the 70th minute that Arsenal managed to break the deadlock, benefiting from a stroke of luck to take the lead.

Arsenal finally went ahead in the 70th minute, albeit in fortunate circumstances.

Bukayo Saka’s inswinging corner was pushed onto the post by Sam Johnstone, only to rebound off the goalkeeper’s back and into the net for an own goal.

Arokodare sparks late hope, as Mosquera’s error seals Arsenal win

As Arsenal attempted to manage the closing stages, Wolves grew in belief.

Their persistence paid off in the 90th minute when Mateus Mane’s cross was met by Tolu Arokodare, who powered a header home to level the score and momentarily stun the home crowd.

Just as it appeared Arsenal had dropped crucial points in the title race, late drama followed. Saka again delivered from the right, and defender Yerson Mosquera, attempting to clear under pressure, headed past his own goalkeeper in stoppage time to hand Arsenal all three points.

The win keeps Arsenal ahead of Manchester City, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom after another costly defensive lapse.
