Arsenal needed a late twist to edge past bottom-placed Wolves in a dramatic finish. After conceding a 90th-minute equaliser, the visitors had to rely on a second own goal to regain the lead and secure the victory.
The closing stages were frantic, with momentum swinging between both sides and nerves stretched thin among the travelling support. What began as a tight contest turned into a nervy finale as Wolves’ late strike looked set to spoil Arsenal’s night — only for an own-goal to settle the contest moments later.
The result will feel like relief for Arsenal, who escaped with all three points despite being pegged back in the final minute. For Wolves, the match was a heartbreaking near-miss, showing grit but ultimately undone by misfortune at the death.
It was a reminder of football’s unpredictability: games can be decided by tiny margins, and even routine moments can become decisive. Both teams will take plenty to reflect on from a memorable, edge-of-your-seat ending.
