Premier League leaders Arsenal showed true title mentality after scoring a 94th-minute winner to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1, extending their winning run against Wolves to nine straight matches. The dramatic victory keeps the Gunners firmly in control of the title race, while Wolves sink deeper at the bottom of the table.
Match Overview: Arsenal’s Patience Finally Pays Off
As expected at the Emirates, Arsenal dominated possession from the opening whistle. Bukayo Saka was at the heart of everything, constantly attacking down the right flank and delivering dangerous crosses. Early chances fell to Jurriën Timber and Declan Rice, but Wolves defended bravely, throwing bodies on the line.
Despite Arsenal’s control, Wolves created the first real moment of danger when Hwang Hee-chan broke free in the 27th minute, forcing a routine save from David Raya. That moment briefly unsettled the hosts, and Ben White then suffered an injury setback.
Second Half Pressure and the Breakthrough
Arsenal turned up the intensity after the break, pinning Wolves deep in their own half. Attempts from Martinelli, Gyökeres, and Mikel Merino kept the pressure on, but Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone stood firm with two excellent saves from Rice.
The breakthrough finally arrived when Saka’s corner ricocheted off the post and bounced in off Johnstone’s back, giving Arsenal a deserved lead and lifting the Emirates crowd.
Late Drama: Wolves Shock, Arsenal Respond
Just when it looked like Arsenal would see the game out comfortably, Wolves struck dramatically. In the 90th minute, Tolu Arokodare headed home a precise cross from Mateus Mané, stunning the home fans and igniting celebrations among the away supporters.
However, Arsenal refused to drop points again. Deep into stoppage time, Saka delivered another dangerous cross, and Yerson Mosquera’s unfortunate own goal sealed a heartbreaking 10th consecutive defeat for Wolves and a priceless win for the Gunners.
What This Result Means
- Arsenal stay top of the Premier League and bounce back strongly from recent setbacks.
