LONDON, England
Arsenal moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League table after beating a struggling Wolves side on Saturday night.
A fortuitous Sam Johnstone own goal broke the deadlock in the 70th minute before Tolu Arokodare looked to have stolen a point for the Premier League’s bottom side in the 90th minute.
However, in injury time a second Wolves own goal - this time Yerson Mosquera heading into his own net under pressure from Gabriel Jesus - gave Arsenal all three points in a dramatic finale in north London.
The Gunners, for long periods, struggled to break down a well-drilled Wolves team that came so very close to earning a surprise point and blowing the title race firmly open for a second straight week.
The visitors, meanwhile, are remarkably still without a league win this season and have now lost nine games in a row, scoring just twice during this difficult period.
