Alex Ferguson once quoted “Football, bloody hell!” Arsenal simply blew life into this illustrious maxim that took the Emirates by storm last night as the Gunners congregation basked in a dreamland that promised the oncoming of good times, unwavering faith and most importantly the Gunners’ coming of age under the Spanish boss who was once questioned fiercely for his approach.

A game that was evidently sliding into an unreserved spell of chaos for the hosts until those crazy last ten minutes of regulation and an added six arrived took a 360-degree turn on its heels and left a sour taste in the mouth of the hungry Wolves who at one point in time thought that the prey was well secured.

The story of Arsenal and Wolves

The visitors started on a more belligerent note as Roman Saiss swished around before unleashing a pile-driver that was dragged slightly off its actual target. The man who provided the winner for Arsenal in the precursor game turned into their villain as the contest took flight. Trying to stymie a marauding Jimenez from laying claim to the ball, his muffed back-pass was embezzled by a scouring Hwang.

With Ramsdale rooted to his spot, Hwang managed to set himself up for the shot and took a comfortable one as he slipped a calm finish into the back of the net even though the angle that presented itself to his vision was pretty narrow.

It needed some resolute defending by Saiss and Max Kilman to thwart the rousing efforts of the hosts as they slowly disseminated their vice over the fabric of the game. Lacazette saw two of his efforts bundled into the keeper before securing the prized winner that sent the Arsenal concourse into a volcano of climactic ecstasy.

Playing a deft one-two with a heavily criticized Nicolas Pepe in the Wolves box, Lacazette whipped in the thunderbolt from close range that bombed into the Wolves net and obliterated a million hearts that pranced vociferously until the 80th-minute mark, almost ensuring the fact that they have secured vengeance of their mortifying drubbing at the hands of an identical adversary back in their backyard. Twitter couldn’t keep calm as a dwindling Lacazette proved to be the messiah for a desperate Arsenal to deliver them the goods.
