Wolves conceded again in the 26th minute. This time it was Saka’s turn to get his name on the scoreboard. Beautiful play in front of goal ends up to Saka who then outwits one opposing player before releasing a left-footed shot that goalkeeper Jose Sa fails. Arsenal won 3-0.
Wolves had very few chances throughout the first half with only two attempts. Arsenal also led three goals until halftime.
Arsenal did not reduce the intensity of their attacks in the second half and actually added to the score 4-0 in the 58th minute through Gabriel Jesus’ header after receiving Leandro Trossard’s cross on the left.
Wolves were even worse off after conceding a fifth goal in the 78th minute. A chaos occurred in front of Jose Sa’s goal while trying to get the ball from Emile Smith Rowe’s corner, but Jakub Kiwior managed to kick the ball into a goal.
