  • Finished
    FT: Arsenal 1-2 Wolves!! All over at the Emirates Stadium and Wolves take home the points. Neto put Wolves ahead, Gabriel quickly levelled and Podence made it 1-2 before half-time in an open game, but the match will be remembered for the horrific head injury Raul Jimenez suffered after clashing heads with David Luiz. There were no goals in the second half and despite plenty of Arsenal pressure, Rui Patricio had few saves to make. A huge boost for Wolves and another setback for Arsenal.

    Arsenal look for one last attack, but times runs out and the referee blows for full time!
  • 93'
    The Gunners are throwing players forward, but Wolves have been quite comfortable, to be honest.
  • 91'
    Neto is cynically fouled by Tierney as that was a promising attack.

    Willian's free-kick flies over the bar.

    HT: Arsenal 1-2 Wolves!! Half-time at the Emirates in an exciting game which has been overshadowed by a very nasty head injury to Raul Jimenez after clashing heads with David Luiz. Pedro Neto put Wolves ahead after 27 minutes, but Gabriel levelled shortly afterwards. Podence then put Wolves back in front as Nuno's men up their game. Both teams have attacked in what has been an open half, but Wolves have been the better. Back soon!
