Arsenal return to winning ways to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League with a 2-0 win against Wolves at Molineux.
The Gunners dominated the early exchanges, with Kai Havertz and Declan Rice testing the Wolves defence with shots, but the home side managed to weather the storm.
Wolves had their own moments, including a close call when Joao Gomes' strike required a fingertip save from David Raya to tip it onto the bar.
Just as the hosts seemed to be gaining momentum towards the end of the first half, the visitors scored.
A loose ball fell to Leandro Trossard, whose off-balance shot found the back of the net off the inside of the post in a stroke of luck.
In the second half, Havertz continued to threaten, but the north London side struggled to capitalise on their dominance in the final third.
Wolves pushed for an equaliser as the game progressed, introducing more experienced players off the bench to put pressure on Arsenal's defence.
Mikel Arteta made defensive subs, bringing on Thomas Partey to shore up the midfield and preserve Arsenal's lead in the final minutes.
In stoppage time, Martin Odegaard sealed the victory for Arsenal with a composed finish from a tight angle, completing a perfect response to their midweek disappointment.
With this result, Mikel Arteta's side will be sitting one point clear of Man City and three points better off than Liverpool, but having played a game more.
