Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Arsenal: Gabriel scores only goal at Molineux

Gabriel scored the only goal and Gabriel Martinelli was given an unusual red card as Arsenal beat Wolves for their first win of 2022.

Defender Gabriel bundled home Alexandre Lacazette's flick-on to score the only first-half goal Wolves have conceded in the Premier League since October.

Gunners forward Martinelli was sent off in the second half for two bookings shown at the same time for infringements seconds apart — stopping a throw-in and a foul on Chiquinho.

The better chances came after that, with Lacazette shooting wide, but the visitors were holding on at the end.

Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale denied Romain Saiss and Leander Dendoncker and Chiquinho had a shot blocked on the line.

Arsenal's first win in six games took them up to fifth and denied eighth-placed Wolves the chance of a fourth league win in a row.
