Arsenal palasi lauantaina miesten jalkapallon Englannin Valioliigan kärkeen otettuaan vierasvoiton Wolverhamptonista maalein 2-0.

Arsenalin 1-0-avausmaalin teki Leandro Trossard 45. peliminuutilla, kun taas Martin Ödegaard sinetöi loppulukemat ottelun lisäajan viidennellä minuutilla. Arsenalille kertyi ottelun tiimellyksessä kaikkiaan 24 maalintekoyritystä, kun taas Wolverhampton pääsi yrittämään onneaan viidesti.

Kapteeni Ödegaard alleviivasi lauantaisen voiton tärkeyttä ja valitteli edeltävän viikon olleen seuralleen vaikea.

– Muutamia rankkoja tuloksia ja henkisesti todella vaikeaa, mutta meidän oli jatkettava tekemistä, hän sanoi.

Arsenal hävisi viime viikonloppuna kotistadionillaan Aston Villalle 0-2 ensimmäisessä Valioliiga-tappiossaan tänä vuonna. Tämän jälkeen Bayern München pudotti lontoolaiset jatkosta Mestarien liigan puolivälierissä.

Tuoreella vierasvoitollaan Arsenal meni Valioliigan sarjataulukossa pisteen verran Manchester Cityn ohitse, joskin Manchester on pelannut yhden ottelun Arsenalia vähemmän.

Wolverhampton on vuorostaan sijalla 11. Wolvesin valmentaja Gary O’Neil valitteli, että hänen joukkueensa on kärsinyt pahimmasta loukkaantumiskriisistä, jonka hän on kohdannut ammattilaisuransa aikana.
