    FT: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal!! All over at Molineux!! Saka had put Arsenal ahead just before half-time and although Wolves were the better team in the second half, they were unable to find a way through. Arsenal had few opportunities after the break, but they are clinical and Lacazette came off the bench to kill off Wolves four minutes from time. Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!
