Arsenal 2-1 Wolves Highlights: Lacazette 95th-minute winner – Arsenal come from behind to secure a 2-1 win over Wolves in their Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Alexandre Lacazette scored a dramatic 95th-minute winner to earn Arsenal a crucial three points after a tense encounter with Wolves at the Emirates. The visitors got off to the dream start taking the lead after just 10 minutes through Hwang Hee-chan.

Gabriel’s poor back-pass was intercepted by the South Korean forward before he rounded Aaron Ramsdale and slotted the ball into the empty net. Arsenal responded well however with Alexandre Lacazette shooting straight at José Sá and Gabriel Martinelli firing over as they consistently broke into the final third in the first half.

Hee-chan almost doubled Wolves’ lead right at the start of the second half when Daniel Podence slid him in inside the box but his shot touched Ramsdale before trickling just wide of the far post. Sá was on hand to deny Lacazette from close range again in the 71st minute before Ben White flashed a shot wide moments later.

It looked as if it was starting to develop into a frustrating night for Mikel Arteta and his team until substitute Pépé produced a decisive contribution. Eddie Nketiah poked the ball into the path of the Ivorian and he swivelled beautifully before firing home.
