"Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points with a dramatic 2-1 victory over struggling Wolves at the Emirates on Saturday. The Gunners had never lost to a team that had started the match at the bottom of the top flight; a record that was preserved in the most pulsating fashion courtesy of a 94th-minute Yerson Mosquera own goal. Mikel Arteta's side dominated possession throughout but struggled to break their defensively disciplined opponents down."
"That was until midway through the second-half when a Sam Johnstone own goal from a Bukayo Saka corner broke the deadlock. Wolves thought they had snatched a point when Tolu Arokodare headed in a 90th-minute equaliser but Rob Edwards' spirited side were hit with a late suckerpunch to remain 13 points adrift of safety. A frustrating first-half for the hosts."
"But the visitors occasionally looked threatening on the counter. In one of those rare forays forward, Hee-chan Hwang found himself bearing down on the Arsenal goal. However, the South Korean's run took him slightly wide of the box and his shot was saved rather comfortably by David Raya. Gabriel Martinelli then twice had opportunities from close range, with Arteta cutting a somewhat agitated figure on the the touchline."
Arsenal beat Wolves 2-1 at the Emirates to extend their Premier League lead to five points. A 94th-minute own goal by Yerson Mosquera preserved Arsenal's unbeaten record against teams that began a match bottom of the table. The match was largely cagey as Arsenal dominated possession but struggled to breach Wolves' disciplined defence. A Bukayo Saka corner led to a Sam Johnstone own goal midway through the second half to open the scoring. Wolves equalised in the 90th minute through a Tolu Arokodare header, but the late own goal left Wolves 13 points adrift of safety.
