Eberechi Eze gets us underway at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal start from left to right and Wolves start from right to left in the first 45 minutes.

Declan Rice, who was out due to illness against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League, is back for the Gunners. That's a huge positive for Arsenal and the energy among the fans says it all.

All Arsenal on the ball, as expected, in the opening 10 minutes. They have already made several progressions to the Wolves box. The Gunners have had a free-kick and a few forward runs made by Bukayo Saka down the right wing.

Ben Whites called offside following Bukayo Saka's clever pass inside the box. Wolves defender Toti also did well to clatter the ball away, but the referee had already raised his flag by then.

The last time Wolves won against Arsenal in all competitions was on February 2, 2021, in a Premier League match at Molineux, which they won 2-1.

Since that date, Arsenal has won the last eight consecutive meetings against Wolves.

ARS 0-0 WOL

First real chance for Wolves but Hwang's shot has been saved by David Raya. That was a little careless by the Gunners, who left the South Korean alone to penetrate inside the Arsenal box.

Viktor Gyokeres' shot from the left side gets saved by Johnstone. Looks like Martin Lewis-Skelly is about to come on to replace Ben White, who has taken a knock and has been taken off.

Eze plays it on the left for Bukayo Saka, who sends in a fantastic cross inside but it met no Arsenal shirt before rolling over for a corner. Declan Rice's pinpoint corner gets cleared away by Wolves, who are well and truly surviving at the moment.

Congestion all over the Wolves box as Arsenal work their way with the ball. They have won numerous free-kicks but Johnstone has been spot on with his saves, denying the Gunners the lead they want so desperately.

Wolves created a rare opportunity just now and they had a lot of space available, but nothing to threaten David Raya.

Gunners leave the pitch with a lot of frustration as Wolves' resilient defence keeps them at bay. Mikel Arteta doesn't look particularly satisfied with his side's performance either as he charges inside the tunnel. Only one shot on target from Arsenal.

Wolves get us underway for the 2nd half of the match and Arsenal are onto it right away, attempting a shot on goal which meets a defender on the way. Saka, Eze and Lewis-Skelly are making good transitions down the right.

After Doherty headed away Timber's cross for a corner, Declan Rice struggled with the resulting set-piece.

His first delivery was miskicked and cleared by Hwang for another corner. Rice corrected his aim on the second attempt, but keeper Johnstone confidently punched the ball clear from the back post.

The Gunners are currently trying hard to play the line breaking passes but Wolves are not giving the hosts too much of space.

Zubimendi, Eze and Martinelli subbed off. Mikel Merino, Odeagaard and Trossard take the field.

Declan Rice's free-kick right outside of the box gets a fingertip of Wolves keeper Johnstone as Arsenal continue to search for the opening goal.

Johnstone has been involved once again as he had to pull out a left-handed save to deny Rice's powerful right-footed strike.

Relief at the Emirates as Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone turns into his own net after making so many saves throughout the night.

Arsenal take the lead in chaotic fashion! Saka's fiercely whipped corner kick struck the inside of the far post, only for the rebound to hit Johnstone's head and go over the line.

The Gunners won't mind how the ball went in, as long as it helps them gain the lead in the scoreline.

Wolves are rotating the ball nicely across the pitch, their best display with the ball at their feet so far. But keeping the ball will not be enough as they need the equalizer here.

Woah!!! That came out of nowhere. The Gunners know now that an one goal cushion is not enough in a game of football. What a header, what a finish by Tolu Arkodare, who scores his first Premier League goal. He could not have asked for a better occasion.

Six minutes have been added on to the clock and Arsenal were on the verge of dropping points but not anymore. The Emirates Stadium erupts as Gabriel Jesus, returning after 11 months in the Premier League, score through a fantastic header.

Saka delivers from the right and no wait, it has not come off from Jesus. The replay shows that Wolves have scored another own goal as Mosquera heads it inside his own goal.

The Gunners won't mind that one for sure.

The full-time whistle goes off and Arsenal complete a patchy and quite rusty win at home to gain crucial 3 points in this title race against Manchester City and go 5 clear at the summit.

Wolves scored all three goals - twice for Arsenal and once for themselves in a night where they showed good spirit but leave home with a 2-1 defeat.
