Goals from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard helped Arsenal get 3 points against Wolverhampton.

The midweek victory over Lens in the European Cup brought inspiration to play football for Arsenal. The Gunners played confidently in the match against Wolverhampton in round 14 of the Premier League. After the opening whistle, Arsenal immediately pushed their offensive line up and soon got what they needed.

In the 6th minute, from Takehiro Tomiyasu’s delicate pass, Bukayo Saka eliminated the opponent’s defender before scoring a dangerous shot to open the score for Arsenal. Having an advantage in terms of score, the home team at Emirates Stadium played sublimely.

Odegaard scored for Arsenal.

In the 13th minute, Zinchenko escaped down the left wing after a very good combination with Gabriel Jesus. He crossed the ball smoothly for Martin Odegaard to double the gap for Arsenal.

Luck continued to turn against Wolverhampton when goalkeeper Jose Sa had to leave the field in the 20th minute due to injury.

The away team faced many difficulties in organizing the attack. They could not overcome Arsenal’s high defense. With Odegaard’s good organization, Arsenal created countless opportunities, notably Martinelli’s shot that bounced off the post. The first half ended without any more goals scored.

Entering the second half, Arsenal continued to maintain a strong attack rhythm. However, there weren’t too many dangerous opportunities created like in the first half. In return, Arsenal did not waste too much effort when pillars like Jesus and Martinelli were taken off.

Saka, Trossard or Odegaard continuously launched remarkable shots from distance but the goal was still turned away from Arsenal. Trossard took 5 shots – the most on the field, but he made a mistake leading to the home team’s goal.

In the 86th minute, Trossard lost concentration and let Semedo steal the ball right in the home team’s penalty area. Matheus Cunha took advantage of the opportunity to score a dangerous shot to shorten the score to 1-2 for Wolverhampton. The “Wolves” tried but could not get another goal to regain 1 point away from home.
