The 'gunners', without Mesut Özil or Guendouzi, advanced against Wolves, sixth with 3 points more than their rival this Saturday, thanks to both from Saka, who the young English winger of Nigerian origin, 21, managed in 43 minutes. It was after a play by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and a pass by Kieran Tierney. Saka scored a beautiful powerful shot with his left foot.
Previously, Arsenal had crashed a ball through the crossbar through Edward Nketiah. For Wolves, a shot with the left foot starring Adama Traoré, who also sent the ball high on a good occasion. But it was not the best afternoon for the former Barcelona player.
The Wolves pressed in the second half, but the ‘gunner’ behind was able to control those of Nuno Espirito Santo. In addition Arteta was correct in his changes. Among them, in 76 'Joseph Willock entered for Saka and in 83', Lacazette for Nketiah. It was Willock and the Frenchman who “made” Arsenal's second goal. After a counterattack, Willock sent the ball to Lacazette, who controlled and scored a 'target' in the purest style of a center forward.
For Wolves, in which Raúl Jiménez only shot once on goal, this defeat is a serious blow to his aspirations to qualify for the Champions League. This time Nuno Espirito Santo's team did not know how to overcome the Arsenal defense, which since 2017 did not chain three games keeping the goal to zero.
