Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Arsenal FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Martinelli has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 6' Arsenal FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Bukayo Saka on 6.
  • 11' 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 David Raya suffering a number of foals already.
  • 13' Brilliant from the ! Martin Odegaard makes it 2-0 with a superb finish on 13.
  • 18' It’s high time Mikel Arteta made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 23' A tactical swap from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC — Daniel Bentley on, Jose Sa off on 23 minutes.
  • 28' It is a cagey affair so far. Arsenal FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Wolverhampton Wanderers FC's compact 3-5-2.
  • 33' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 38' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 43' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 48' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Bentley made 344 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 53' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gary O'Neil might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 58' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is showing some good football. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 62' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Matt Doherty is hanging Hugo Bueno on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' Gabriel Jesus makes way for Eddie Nketiah at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from Arsenal FC.
  • 68' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for William Saliba.
  • 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 414 games and scored 725 goals.
  • 78' Kai Havertz has so much to prove this time. He replaces Martinelli on 78 minute.
  • 79' Fresh legs for Arsenal FC! Ben White comes on to replace Takehiro Tomiyasu.
  • 84' Carlos Cuesta picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 86' GOAL! Matheus Cunha scores on 86. Assisted by Nelson Semedo
  • 88' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Hwang Heechan on 88 minutes.
