Arsenal return to top of PL after seeing off Wolves

Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Wolves at Molineux with goals from Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard late in each half.
Trossard’s sliced effort in the final minute of the first half found the top corner of the net and Mikel Arteta’s side kept Wolves at bay until Odegaard forced home in stoppage time. The victory takes them one point clear of Manchester City having played an extra game.
After that shock home defeat to Aston Villa was followed up by European elimination at the hands of Bayern Munich on Wednesday, the Gunners were under pressure to produce the win that would take them top and bring some momentum back to their season.
Wolves were severely depleted by injuries, handing a first start to forward Tawanda Chirewa and naming 15-year-old Wes Okoduwa among the substitutes, but they were competitive enough throughout with Joao Gomes seeing his shot hit the post with the scores level.
The result remained in the balance until the end but Arsenal’s impressive defence, such a big factor in this title tilt, held firm before Odegaard added late gloss to the delight of the travelling support. Wolves stay 11th. It is Arsenal who now lead the way.
