Arsenal host Wolves in round 14 of the 2023-2024 Premier League. After the opening whistle, the "Gunners" proactively played offensively, controlled the game better, and used many short passes. Meanwhile, Wolves played cautiously and arranged a low lineup.
In the 6th minute, Arsenal had an impressive combination on the right wing. Bukayo Saka made a good impression on Jesus to penetrate the penalty area, before firing a dangerous right-footed shot into the far corner, opening the score for the home team.
After this goal, coach Mikel Arteta's students created an encroachment.
On the left wing, Zinchenko and Martinelli did their job well. On the other side, the right wing with the mobility of Tomiyasu and Bukayo Saka is the main attack direction of the "Gunners".
The Emirates team quickly concretized the opportunities with goals. In the 13th minute, Zinchenko made a pass back to mid-range for Odegaard to comfortably finish into the far corner, landing the ball in the lower right corner of the goal to increase the score to 2-0 for Arsenal.
Despite the double gap, Arsenal's players are still playing very fiercely. They continuously surrounded and threatened the goalkeeper Jose Sa's goal.
Meanwhile, Wolves are completely stuck in finding a way to the home team's goal.
They also had some quick counter-attacks but their strikers failed to capitalise or were easily neutralized by Arsenal's defence.
In the second half, Arsenal still played well against Wolves. The home team players attack all over the pitch, comfortably deploying the ball and trying to finish when possible.
However, dangerous plays or a third goal still did not come to Arsenal.
Unsuccessful efforts to increase the gap, the "Gunners" unexpectedly conceded a goal in the 86th minute. Zinchenko lost the ball in the penalty area, allowing Semedo to steal the ball and then pass it to Matheus Cunha.
Cunha's quick shot left goalkeeper David Raya unable to block to reduce the score to 1-2 for Wolves.
After conceding at a sensitive time, Arsenal tried to attack to score more goals but failed.
In the end, Arsenal won 2-1 against Wolves. This result is enough for coach Mikel Arteta and his team to continue to maintain their leading position on the rankings after round 14.
