Wolverhampton 0-1 Arsenal: Riccardo Calafiori Secures Vital Win For 10-Man Gunners

Arsenal edged Wolverhampton 1-0 in a tense encounter on Saturday at the Molineux Stadium despite being reduced to 10 men in the first half. Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card left the Gunners vulnerable, but Wolves squandered their numerical advantage. Joao Gomes' red card in the 70th minute leveled the playing field, and Riccardo Calafiori scored the decisive goal just four minutes later to secure a crucial victory for second-placed Arsenal.
