War in the trenches. The hosts fought hard and well, and the guests had to earn their victory with a lot of sweat, and even with a 10 men. But the Gunners did it. They won their first match in 2022 and kept a cleen sheet in the process to climb up to fifth place in the Premier League table: Wolverhampton – Arsenal 0-1. January was a month to forget for Arsenal. Winless in five games, resulting in their elimination from two cup competitions and a trio of red cards along the way, 2022 has been an unforgiving year so far for Mikel Arteta’s men. February started with another red card, but this time, Arsenal managed to finally record a win.This is what it means!

Contrary from Arsenal, Wolves have won all three of their top-flight games in January, defeating United, Southampton and Brentford. As a result Lage was named the Premier League Manager of the Month. And they were tought againt tonight at Molineaux, but failed to score even when Gunners were man down. Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale denied Romain Saiss and Leander Dendoncker while Chiquinho had a shot blocked on the line. In the end, the hosts had more shots on target (4) than Arsenal (2) and even more possesion (59%) but nobody cares, the Gunners won.Vai ser burro assim lá na casa do chapéu Gabriel Martinelli. 🤦🏾Dois cartões amarelos em menos de 15 segundos e deixou o Arsenal com um a menos contra o Wolverhampton, com o seu time ganhando de 1 a 0 ainda…. pic.twitter.com/QJgDIes1QZ— Gabriel Jesus Brasil 🇧🇷 (@Gabriel_JesusBR) February 10, 2022 The only goal of the game was scored by Gabriel Martinelli after a corner in which Wolves defenders reacted slowly and allowed the Brazilian to score the winner from close range. The only scorer of the match was also sent off in the second half for two bookings shown at the same time for infringements seconds apart – stopping a throw-in and a foul on Chiquinho. It’s funny but Arsenal actually had more red cards than goals in 2022 – 4:2. Wolves pushed even harder after that, but it was not good enough. And considering that they have the third worst attack in the league, it was never going to be easy anyway.
