Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Arsenal FC is hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 6' Goal! Bukayo Saka scores his 96 goal in 414 matches.
  • 11' It looks like no one’s ball. Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 13' Magnificent from Martin Odegaard! That is 65 goals in 282 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 18' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 23' Another change for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC made on 23 minute. Jose Sa leaves to be changed by Daniel Bentley.
  • 28' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Wolverhampton Wanderers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 43' Tommy Doyle is a natural central midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Arsenal FC tonight.
  • 48' Arsenal FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 48.
  • 53' Craig Dawson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 58' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Arsenal FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Eddie Nketiah. He replaces Gabriel Jesus on 67 minute.
  • 68' Controversy at the stadium! William Saliba argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 73' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Daniel Bentley suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' Kai Havertz gets the nod from Arsenal FC. He replaces Martinelli and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 79' Ben White is ready to make an impact after coming on for Takehiro Tomiyasu at the 79 minute mark.
  • 84' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Carlos Cuesta on 84 minutes.
  • 86' A stunning finish from Matheus Cunha — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 88' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 90' A change in the Arsenal FC ranks — Martin Odegaard exits the field as Jorginho enters on 90.
  • Arsenal FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
