Arsenal secured a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Wolves in a dramatic Premier League encounter that was decided deep into stoppage time. After a cagey first half that ended goalless, the match burst into life in the second period with goals, substitutions, and late controversy shaping the outcome.
The Gunners broke the deadlock in the 70th minute through S. Johnstone, giving the home side a deserved lead after sustained pressure. Arsenal had dominated possession and territory for long spells, and the goal reflected their growing control after the interval.
Wolves responded right at the death, with T. Arokodare finding the net in the 90th minute to level the score at 1–1, briefly silencing the Emirates and threatening to steal a point for the visitors after a resilient defensive display.
However, Arsenal had the final say. Deep into added time, Y. Mosquera turned the ball into his own net under pressure, restoring Arsenal’s lead at 90+4 minutes and sealing all three points in dramatic fashion.
The win strengthens Arsenal’s league position and underlines their ability to grind out results late on, while Wolves were left frustrated after conceding so late despite a spirited performance.
