Arsenal’s recent struggles came to an end as they secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. Despite a depleted Wolves side due to injuries, the Gunners faced a resilient opponent that pushed them to the limit.
The first half proved to be a stalemate, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances. However, on the stroke of halftime, Leandro Trossard broke the deadlock with a well-taken goal. The second half followed a similar pattern, with Wolves defending resolutely and Arsenal struggling to find a way through.
As the game entered stoppage time, Martin Odegaard sealed the victory for Arsenal with a clinical finish. The goal came as a result of Wolves’ desperation to equalize, which left them vulnerable to the Gunners’ counter-attacking threat.
The win was a crucial one for Arsenal, who leapfrogged Manchester City to the top of the Premier League table. However, City have a game in hand, so the race for the title remains wide open.
Arsenal’s victory was praised by Sky Sports commentator Jamie Redknapp, who said: “There’s an argument that’s Arsenal’s biggest win of the season, their most important.”
