Arsenal Defeats Wolverhampton 2-1

Arsenal expanded their lead to four points at the top of the Premier League table with an early goal from Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, winning 2-1 against visitors Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. In low temperatures, Arsenal started the match at lightning speed, appearing to secure the points from the moment captain Ødegaard doubled their lead in the 13th minute. Saka had given Mikel Arteta's team the lead in the sixth minute after quick and intricate passing set him up in front of goal. Wolverhampton reorganized and gradually began to make some progress, although Arsenal faced no problems until Matheus Cunha struck a powerful shot at Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya in the 86th minute, bringing the match to an unexpectedly tense climax. Arsenal now has 33 points from 14 matches, while defending champions Manchester City, who will host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, have 29 points. Liverpool and Aston Villa each have 28 points ahead of their matches tomorrow.
