Ruben Neves, Matt Doherty and Diogo Jota were on target as Wolves inflicted a second consecutive Premier League defeat on Arsenal.
Arsenal’s hopes of securing a top-four place were dealt a blow as Wolves cruised to a 3-1 Premier League win at Molineux on Wednesday.
Any thoughts the Gunners would return to winning ways after Sunday’s damaging defeat to Crystal Palace were extinguished during a 17-minute spell in the first half, which saw Wolves score three times.
Ruben Neves got them up and running with a glorious free-kick shortly before the half-hour mark, while Matt Doherty and Diogo Jota put the game to bed before the interval after some generous defending from Unai Emery’s side.
Wolves travel to Watford next time out as they look to continue their good form. Arsenal, meanwhile, are away at Leicester as they seek to bounce back.
After an end-to-end match, Wolves deservedly come away with the win thanks to three first-half goals. Neves found the net with a sublime free-kick after 28 minutes to open the scoring before Doherty’s header flew beyond Leno to double the hosts’ lead nine minutes later. Jota added to the scoring one minute before the break when he beat Leno with a fierce left-footed effort from the centre of the box. After the restart, Arsenal piled on the pressure and pulled one back through Sokratis when he headed Xhaka’s corner into the back of the net but Wolves held on to claim a famous victory.
FULL TIME: WOLVES 3-1 ARSENAL
