Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Jesus breaks into the right-hand channel and looks to take on Toti, who stands his ground and wins the ball cleanly on the byline. A belated offside flag grants Wolves the free-kick, but they immediately give the ball back to their hosts. This has been so poor from the visitors.

Arsenal are knocking the ball around with so much confidence here, picking up where they left off against Lens. Odegaard is dropping deep in front of Gabriel and Saliba to dictate the play.

Arsenal could hardly have asked for a better start to this game, with O'Neil's patched-up visitors 2-0 down and chasing shadows. Barring a remarkable collapse, the Gunners are going four points clear at the summit.

Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

O'Neil's last trip to this stadium saw his Bournemouth team race into a surprise 2-0 lead – their first goal coming almost directly from kick-off – before squandering that advantage in a 3-2 defeat last season. It's safe to say his new club have had a much more difficult start to this match.

Wolves are really struggling to get out here. Saka looks for a give-and-go with Odegaard as he breaks in behind Toti, but the Norwegian's return pass is too heavy and it runs behind.

After that goal, Wolves have still never kept a clean sheet in 19 Premier League games against Arsenal. In Premier League history, only West Bromwich Albion have faced an opponent more without ever recording a shutout (26, also against Arsenal).

There was a very brief VAR check on the goal, possibly for offside against Saka at the start of the move, but it's swiftly waved away. The Gunners take an early lead!
