Arsenal vs Wolves Highlights

Granit Xhaka bid farewell to Arsenal in a remarkable manner, making his last match for the Gunners a perfect send-off. Within a mere 3 minutes, Xhaka left an indelible mark on the game, etching his name twice on the electronic scoreboard. The first goal arrived in the 11th minute when he skillfully headed the ball into the net from a pass by striker Gabriel Jesus. Just moments later, Xhaka capitalized on a loose ball to secure his second goal. The goal fest at the Emirates Stadium didn't cease there, as Arsenal found the back of the net for the third time in the 27th minute, courtesy of Bukayo Saka, who celebrated his new contract with a goal.

After the halftime break, Arsenal swiftly resumed their attacking onslaught. In the 53rd minute, Thomas Partey managed to find the Wolves' goal, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervened, disallowing the home team's goal. Nevertheless, only five minutes later, Arsenal notched their fourth goal, as Jesus outwitted Jose Sa with an assist from Leandro Trossard, who had earlier played a pivotal role in Saka's first-half goal.

Unrelenting in their pursuit of goals, Arsenal continued to apply pressure on their opponents. However, it wasn't until the 78th minute that they secured their fifth and final goal. Just moments after being substituted onto the field, Smith-Rowe provided an assist, allowing defender Jakub Kiwior to score his maiden goal in an Arsenal jersey, culminating in a resounding "5-star" victory for the Gunners. This triumph can be seen as a gesture of gratitude from the players to the team's loyal supporters.

Arsenal vs Wolves Summary

Gunners supporters had hoped for a different outcome as their title aspirations slipped away with only two wins from their previous eight league matches. Despite this disappointment, Arsenal's season has shown progress, and they were determined to entertain their home fans in their final game. They wasted no time in taking the lead, as Granit Xhaka rose above everyone else at the far post to head home, potentially marking his farewell appearance for the club.

If this was indeed Xhaka's goodbye at the Emirates, the Swiss international certainly made it memorable by quickly adding a second goal, showcasing his sharp instincts in the box to score his seventh league goal of the season. Arsenal had no intention of easing off the accelerator and effectively put the game out of reach before the half-hour mark when Bukayo Saka displayed his skill by dribbling into the box and curling a delightful shot into the net.

Arsenal vs Wolves Summary

The hosts continued to apply relentless pressure on their opponents, and Thomas Partey thought he had secured Arsenal's fourth goal, only for referee Andre Marriner to disallow it due to a foul on Wolves' goalkeeper, José Sá. However, Arteta's men didn't have to wait long to increase their lead further. Just five minutes later, Gabriel Jesus capped off his first season at the Emirates with a goal, adding more luster to the final scoreline.

The victory became even more emphatic when Jakub Kiwior scored his maiden goal for Arsenal, providing a fitting end to the season for the Gunners. It was a bittersweet campaign, especially considering their 243-day stint at the top of the Premier League. On the other hand, Wolves concluded the season in a disappointing manner, and with uncertainty surrounding Julen Lopetegui's future, they face an uncertain summer ahead.
