Despite a recent setback in the Champions League, Arsenal displayed resilience and determination as they secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Wolves, reclaiming the top spot in the Premier League standings.
Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard emerged as the heroes for the Gunners, netting pivotal goals at the end of each half to edge past a spirited Wolves side.
The win propelled Mikel Arteta’s men one point clear of Manchester City, reigniting their hopes of clinching their first league title in two decades.
Arsenal’s triumph came on the heels of a disappointing Champions League quarter-final elimination at the hands of Bayern Munich and a rare Premier League defeat to Aston Villa.
While the visitors initially struggled to find their rhythm, Trossard’s fortuitous strike just before halftime provided the breakthrough they desperately needed, injecting renewed belief into their title aspirations.
Despite facing a Wolves side plagued by injuries, Arsenal had to weather some early pressure, with goalkeeper David Raya called into action to deny Joao Gomes’ powerful effort.
As fatigue set in during the second half, Arsenal’s slender lead seemed precarious.
However, Wolves lacked the attacking impetus to mount a comeback, allowing Odegaard to seal the victory with a late strike.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the league, Luton Town’s hopes of survival took a significant blow following a crushing 5-1 defeat to Brentford.
The result leaves them teetering dangerously close to the relegation zone, with Nottingham Forest looming as their closest rivals.
On a brighter note, Burnley bolstered their own bid for survival with a commanding 4-1 win over bottom-placed Sheffield United.
The victory sees them closing in on safety, while Sheffield United’s fate appears all but sealed as they languish at the foot of the table.
