Arsenal 2 Wolves 1: Saka and Odegaard net as Gunners move four points clear at top of the table with narrow win

ARSENAL turned on the style to ease past Wolves for the fifth time in a row.

Bukayo Saka found the net with just six minutes on the clock to open the scoring at the Emirates.

And seven minutes later, the Gunners were purring with another flowing move, this time rounded off by skipper Martin Odegaard.

Jose Sa, beaten twice early on, was soon heading off injured, replaced by Dan Bentley midway through the first half.

The Gunners seemed to be walking towards a routine three points.

But with four minutes to go, Oleksandr Zinchenko had his pocket picked and Matheus Cunha curled expertly beyond David Raya to half the deficit and set up a nervy end.

Eddie Nketiah could have sealed it for Arsenal moments later but hit the post and then the hosts survived eight minutes of injury time to cling on.
