Wolves 0-2 Arsenal - 3 talking points as Gunners get back on winners list
By Adam Schultz
Arsenal secured a 2-0 win over Wolves to put the pressure back on Manchester City and Liverpool in the title race.
A response was needed from Mikel Arteta's side after back-to-back defeats, and they got it against Wolves.
Leandro Trossard got things started just before half time as the ball fell kindly to him after Gabriel Jesus tried to weave his way out of trouble. Trossard's first time shot cannoned off the upright and gave the Gunners the lead.
It was a tense and nervous second half with Arsenal holding a slender advantage before Martin Odegaard doubled the lead in injury time to seal a crucial three points and get the Gunners back on the winner's list.
The game provided plenty of talking points; here they are.
Talking points from Arsenal's 2-0 win over Wolves
A win is a win
It won't win any awards for aesthetics, but three points is three points. At this stage of the season, getting wins by any means necessary is crucial for Arsenal.
The performance won't live long in the memory, but Arteta will care little as the job got done. With the title race so close, it doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you do it.
And Arteta's side did it and put the pressure on City and Liverpool to secure positive results.
