Arsenal Secure 2-1 Victory Over Wolves at the Emirates
Arsenal defeated Wolves 2-1 in a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium, with the winning goal coming from a stoppage-time own goal by Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera. The decisive moment followed an inswinging cross from Arsenal's Bukayo Saka.
Wolves, struggling this season with only two points from 15 league games, entered the match as significant underdogs, with pre-match odds placing them at 28-1 to win and 8-1 to draw. The performance reflected their continued difficulties in the league.
The scoring opened in the 70th minute when Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone scored an own goal after misreading a corner kick; the ball bounced off the post and into his net. Arsenal’s lead was briefly neutralized when Tolu Arokodare headed home from a Mateus Mané cross in the 89th minute. Although the announcer momentarily credited Mané, the goal was officially credited to Arokodare.
Arsenal began the match with a poor first-half showing, relying heavily on Bukayo Saka as their main creative force. Declan Rice and Gabriel Martinelli provided limited chances, while Gabriel Jesus came on late in the game and was involved in the winning goal via the deflection from Mosquera.
Team changes for Arsenal included Ben White starting at right-back but being forced off around the 30th minute. Lewis-Skelly then moved to left-back as part of a defensive reshuffle, with Saliba and Rice returning to the lineup to stabilize the side.
