Wolves 0-2 Arsenal

MARTIN ODEGAARD’S second half brace helped Arsenal to an improbable five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table on Saturday, ahead of the unwanted break for a tainted World Cup.

The Gunners started the top vs bottom clash knowing that a victory would see them ease to a startling gap clear of the chasing pack, including second place Manchester City, who, surprisingly, lost 2-1 at home to Brentford earlier in the day.

Mikel Arteta started with the same team that laid yet another title marker down for the unbelievers last weekend, during the 1-0 win at Chelsea. It was clear to see why in the early stages, despite interim Wolves boss Steve Davis playing five at the back, in a bid to smother the North Londoners’ attacking flair.
