Arsenal brighten top four push with win against Wolves
Arsenal on Thursday pipped Wolverhampton 2-1 at the Emirate Stadium in the English Premier League game, rekindling their hope of ending among top four teams this season.
The Gunners came from behind to defeat Wolverhampton in the competitive match.
The visitors shocked the Gunners barely 10 minutes into the game as Hwang Hee-Chan’s fired in a goal, putting Wolves ahead.
The Gunners responded well, dominating that game but could not equalise in the first half.
However, the Gunners fought their way back to win the game in the last 15 minutes of the second half.
Nicolas Pepe, who came on from the bench, fired in a equaliser for the Gunners, cancelling Hwang Hee-Chan’s goal in the 82nd minute.
With Arsenal mounting pressure, Jose Sa deflected Alexandre Lacazette’s shot into his own net in regulation time, giving the Gunnner a crucial win at the Emirate.
Arsenal are now fifth on the EPL log with 45 points in 24 games, just one point behind Manchester United.
With two outstanding games, Arsenal stand a chance of displacing United from fourth position on the EPL log if they win their pending games.
