The Arsenal midfield saw a lot of play and pass among Moutinho and Neves.\u201d Shoooooooot\u201d shouted the crowd in the 38th minute urging Thomas Party to help the Gunners tally the scoresheet but the Ghanaian threw the shot away in the stands.<\/p>\n
After a lot of corner balls, finally came the 81st minute where Odegaard spooned a pass over the defender, pulling it back for Pepe who banged it in for the equaliser. Soon after, the Emirates rang the bells of victory as the Gunners move above the table below Manchester United with two matches in hand. The 90+5 minute saw Lacazette\u2019s shot heading in as the keeper got a hand to it but inadvertently helped it into the net.<\/p>\n

Wolves took the loss back home unhappy but proud. Bruno Lage, Wolves\u2019 manager, said, \u201cI\u2019m unhappy because we lost but at the same time proud of my players.\u00a0 To take from this game it was a good performance and the good chances we created. We are working well. Sometimes you do the right things and don\u2019t win, so now is to move on\u201d.
