Premier League: Arsenal go 5th after Gabriel seals win at Wolves
The Brazilian scored in from close range in the 25th minute to decide a largely forgettable contest that Arsenal ended with 10 men after Gabriel Martinelli was strangely sent off with 20 minutes remaining for two offenses in matter seconds.
Wolves struggled to make clear chances and the closest they came to an equaliser was when substitute Chiquinho’s effort was cleared off the line.
Daniel Podence was denied by a fine save by Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale however it was a frustrating night for Wolves who had been looking for a fourth successive league win.
Victory lifted Arsenal into 5th spot with 39 points from 22 matches while Wolves, who could have gone above the Gunners, stay in 8th place.
