Gabriel’s first half goal was enough to give ten-man Arsenal a potentially crucial win at Wolves.
The defender ended our four-game scoreless streak with a close range finish from a corner, but the hard work was done after we were reduced to ten min 20 minutes from time.
Gabriel Martinelli was the man dismissed, for two identical offences within the space of a few seconds.
But after that our defence stood firm in the face of sustained pressure from the home side, and earned a victory to move us up to fifth place in the league.
The opening 20 minutes were very even, and neither goalkeeper was tested as the two sides tentatively probing away for space in behind the well-organised defences.
We had just started to look the more dangerous side in the moments before the taking the lead. First Ben White had a shot charged down inside the area after neat work from Martin Odegaard and then Bukaya Saka to set up the chance. Alexandre Lacazette was inches away from connecting with a decent whipped in cross from Cedric on the right flank.
From the resulting corner we went ahead. White won the initial header, the ball fell between Lacazette and goalkeeper Jose Sa, where Gabriel was lurking to stab home from close range.
The Wolves players were appealing for a foul on the goalkeeper, but referee Michael Oliver saw nothing wrong, and the goal stood.
Saka created another for Lacazette moments after that, but the striker’s shot was straight at Sa.
Wolves improved after falling behind, but without seriously troubling Aaron Ramsdale.
There was little between the sides in the second half too, but we looked to be in control, even if we were coming under more pressure.
That was until two yellow cards with a matter of seconds for Gabriel Martinelli reduced us to ten men for the last quarter of the game. They were both for pushes – Michael Oliver allowing play to continue after the first, only to stop play seconds later to issue two cards following a second push to bundle over Chinquinho.
Wolves had the ball in the net from the resulting free-kick, but it was ruled out for offside.
Lacazette had a glorious chance to double our lead shortly afterwards, but curled wide when through on goal.
Ramsdale made a flying stop to turn over Roman Saiss’s effort as the hosts came back with renewed ambition.
As the pressure ramped up, Rob Holding cleared off the line and Raul Jimenez had a header saved.
Subsititute Holding was called on several times in the closing stages, but the whole backline played their part in what felt like a huge win at Molineux.

Michael Oliver is unprofessional…. he behaves like he owns the world when he is refereeing a match. Crazy dude ???
?
Holy cow… Saka is a force to wreck with ??
0:26 You've score a lucky goal bruh. Why you celebrate like you score at the UCL final? Lol. Thats Arsenal
Holding truly saved us, when he got subbed in. Some important clearances and won every header. As always – a great perfomance by him!
Josssssaa
Pengambilan organ adalah satu dari pelanggaran HAM terburuk yang bisa dibayangkan, dan dan sulit untuk memahami bahwa sebuah negara bisa secara sistematis mengambil begitu banyak nyawa orang yang tidak bersalah untuk organ mereka, kata Peter van Dalen, seorang Anggota Parlemen Eropa (MEP), pada 29 November.
Van Dalenmembuat pernyataan ini pada sidang yang diadakan oleh Subkomite Hak Asasi Manusia Parlemen Eropa (DEVE). Selama acara ini, ahli hukum, saksi, anggota parlemen, dan pejabat lainnya menyerukan Uni Eropa (UE) serta PBB untuk mengambil tindakan untuk menghentikan pengambilan organ oleh Partai Komunis Tiongkok (PKT).

Cedric is thrash
Jesus Christ no Commentary today
Come on Arsenal??????
where's the logic of that double yellow card?! a yellow card is supposed to warn a player that if he does one more cynical foul he'll be out of the game. the ref gave wolves an advantage for martinelli's foul so technically he hadn't been warned by the ref, so how on earth he got that double yellow card. corrupt refs
Nice
This highlights is the best, its so complete and thanks for omitting the cheap commentary
Our boys
Micheal Oliver yet again showing his love for Arsenal
THAT CHALLENGE BY MARTINELLI DID NOT DESERVE A RED CARD BUT A FREE-KICK TO WOLVES FROM THAT SPOT. THE REFEREE WAS TOO HARSH TO GIVE HIM A RED. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LET OFF WITH A STERN TELLING OFF BY THE REF.
EVEN WITH A RED CARD, ARSENAL SHOWED "CHARACTER" AND MANAGED TO WIN THE GAME. I EXPECT THE ARSENAL WIN STREAK TO CONTINUE.
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!! WE SHOULD FINISH OF THE SEASON ON A HIGH!!!
Wolves are a fantastic team and this win is huge considering that
Martinelli lmao
Laca should not have missed that ?
1:38 this is sick
Am I the only one who wants to see a back 5 of
Tomiyasu holding white gabriel and Tierney
Great win but pls sign a striker in the summer
Big time win Arsenal??
Great win
This referee. Wth.
We could have lost points on this game had it been not the red card, I don't know whether someone else noticed the same
Everytime we fight wolves get a red
Ramsdale good job for Arsenal ?
Brought Nkuku from Leipzig as a replacement for Lacazette
Now the Refs will think twice before sending off our players cuz they don’t want us to win ?
the red card was totally deserved. Martineli thought that the ref gave an advantage so he wont get booked and he then went on to willingly push the guy down without even trying to get the ball
Surely the referee might not justice to decide to give two yellow cards at same time to give a red at once,it looked to be unjust in compared.
Lacazette really hates scoring
