Arsenal, Man Utd, Spurs: Data analysts rank Premier League top four contenders' chances

Arsenal took a massive step towards Champions League qualification against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday night.

Having gobbled up all three points at Molineux just a matter of days ago, the pressure was on the Gunners to repeat their feat by getting the better of Bruno Lage’s men in front of their own fans.

However, they didn’t exactly make the most promising of starts with Gabriel playing an under-hit back pass to Aaron Ramsdale that allowed Hwang Hee-chan to round the Arsenal goalkeeper and open the scoring.

As such, Arsenal had to dig deep if they were to maintain their momentum in the top four race, and they ended up doing exactly that by scoring one of their most dramatic Premier League goals of the season.

First, with less than 10 minutes left on the clock, Nicolas Pepe pulled the north London side back into the game with a delicious turn and finish in the penalty area.

Then, no less than five minutes deep into stoppage time, Arsenal sparked scenes of delirium at Emirates Stadium when Alexandre Lacazette’s shot found the back of the net via Jose Sa’s glove.

It truly was a stunning comeback upon which great seasons can be made with Arsenal now sitting in fifth place just one point behind Manchester United with two games in hand over their rivals.

Marry that to Tottenham Hotspur sitting six points behind having lost four of their last five games as well as both Wolves and West Ham United trailing despite playing more matches and things are looking pretty rosy for Arsenal.

As such, Arsenal fans will have to forgive us for
