Mikel Arteta took his Arsenal side on the road to the Molineux knowing a win would put the Gunners five points clear at the top of the Premier League table going into the World Cup break
Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Wolves at the Molineux.
The Gunners have made rapid starts their trademark this term, but couldn’t find their rhytm early on against a Wolves side who got plenty of joy in behind their visitors full-backs.
Gabriel Jesus has found goals hard to come by in recent weeks and his first half performance will do very little to ease fears over the Brazilian’s finishing. He spurned a number of clear opportunities in the first period and the one time he did have the ball in the net he was greeted by the sight of the offside flag.
The Gunners can consider themselves fortunate to have not had a penalty awarded against them when William Saliba’s trip on Adama Traore evaded VAR punishment.
