It is never easy to play with a man down. Despite Arsenal’s efforts, they struggled to create meaningful chances as Wolves dominated possession and applied pressure. However the game took a dramatic turn in the 70th mins when Wolves were also reduced to 10 men following a reckless challenge. Their persistence paid off in the 74th mins when Riccardo Calafiori capitalized on a rebound inside the box finding the back of the net to give arsenal the lead. I think the goal boosted the confidence of the arsenal squad and they managed to hold into their advantage for the remainder of the match .
Today's match was too tough for Arsenal because Wolves were able to balance their strength before one of their players was sent off in the 70th minute. However, Arsenal's performance is commendable, they did not lose their spirit even though they had to defend with a player missing because they got a red card. However, their strategy was really strong to attack when both teams played with 10 players.
For me, this victory is so important because they still maintain the opportunity to continue to stick to Liverpool at the top of the standings. Arsenal must be more consistent because any carelessness they do will make them lose control of the in standings. This week the two teams at the top of the standings won and only Nottingham Forest failed to get points because they were defeated by Bournemouth.
