I said that Wolves needed a bit of luck to get something from this game.
The goalkeeper has been good and Sam Johnstone doesn't deserve that.
You see and hear the relief in this place. It is incredible.
Bukayo Saka (70 mins)

Bukayo Saka curls the corner towards the net himself and Sam Johnstone, who has been really good so far, goes for the fingertip save but it ends up pinging off the post and off the goalkeeper's back into the back of the net.
So unlucky for Wolves, the Gunners finally have their lead.

Red card in the modern game.
Steve
One of the clearest red cards this season. Studs up sliding lunge above the ankle. VAR having yet another shocker.

Wolves have been disciplined and organised. They just have to keep it up.
A really good save from Sam Johnstone. Really good from the goalkeeper. Declan Rice was trying to curl it around the edge.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Another good save from Sam Johnstone, a big strong hand down to his left from Declan Rice's low powerful effort.
By the way, Rice's free-kick was Arsena's first shot on target of the match. It took us 66 minutes to get there.

Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Declan Rice lifts the free-kick over the wall and bends towards the top corner but Sam Johnstone tips over the bar with his fingertips.
Finally the Wolves keeper has had a save to make.

As an Arsenal fan, that's not a red card.
Ben
Hee Chan realises half way through, lowers his foot and tries to pull out. As clear yellow as you'll see.

Arsenal's title bid looking very Spursy.
Richard
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
These Saturday night 8pm kick-offs can be a bit painful at the best of times can't they. This hasn't been great.
Wolves fans will disagree with that if it stays like this, of course.

Because it is not high up his leg, Hwang Hee-Chan gets away with it. I understand from Arsenal's point of view that you want a red card.

Wolves fans can breathe a sigh of relief but my goodness, he's got away with one there.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Mikel Arteta is going absolutely crazy on the touchline. As you can imagine.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Image source, Getty ImagesThat is a poor challenge from Hwang Hee-Chan and VAR are having a real good look at this.
Studs up. He could be in trouble here.

Alex Howell
BBC Sport Arsenal reporter at Emirates Stadium
Mikel Arteta is really trying to make something happen as he makes a triple change.
Declan Rice now the deepest midfielder with Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard in front of him.
Leandro Trossard who is on too is on the left wing.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
Leandro Trossard has been the danger man for Arsenal in recent weeks, particularly when coming off the bench.
More from him today?
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
A triple change then for the hosts.
Off: Martin Zubimendi, Gabriel Martinelli and Eberechi Eze.
On: Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino.

Gabriel Martinelli went for goal. The first time Martinelli has got the better of his man down that right side. Martinelli is trying to curl it in. Really positive from Gabriel Martinelli, but it is the last thing he will do in this game.

Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League games against Wolves, their longest winning run against an opponent since a run of 10 against Burnley from 2010 to 2019.
Wolves have won just one of their last 14 away league games against Arsenal (D4 L9), losing the last four in a row since a 2-1 victory in November 2020.
Arsenal have scored in each of their last 35 meetings with Wolves in all competitions, since a 1-0 home loss in February 1979. In English football history, only Wrexham against Darlington have had a longer scoring streak across all competitions (49 between 1929 and 1961).
This will be the 42nd Premier League match between the top side and the bottom side, with the league leaders winning 30 of the previous 41 (D7 L4). Wolves are responsible for two of the bottom side’s four victories, beating Manchester United at Molineux in both January 2004 and February 2011.
Arsenal are looking to win five consecutive home Premier League matches for the first time since between January and April 2024. The Gunners have also won their last seven at the Emirates against teams starting the day in the bottom-three, since drawing 3-3 with Southampton in April 2023.
Though they still have the best defence in the Premier League this season with nine goals conceded, Arsenal have shipped six goals in their last five league games, double the amount they did in their first 10 this term.
Wolves remain winless in all 15 Premier League games this season, with only QPR in 2012-13 (16) and Sheffield United in 2020-21 (17) having longer runs from the start of a campaign. Meanwhile, their two points is a joint-low after 15 games in top-flight history, level with the Blades from 2020-21.
Wolves are winless in 19 Premier League games and have lost their last eight in a row. Both runs are their joint-longest in their league history, also going 19 without a win between December 1984 and April 1985, and losing eight in a row between December 1981 and February 1982.
12 of Arsenal’s first 17 Premier League goals this season had come from set piece situations (8x corner, 2x penalty, 2x free-kick). Since Viktor Gyökeres’ header at Burnley in November, the Gunners’ last 11 league goals have all been from open play.
Arsenal winger Noni Madueke has scored four goals in his two Premier League starts against Wolves, including a hat-trick for Chelsea at Molineux last season.
