Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have no rivals in this Premier League and will be spoiled for the World Cup to be a little more leaders after beating bottom club Wolves with a brace from Martin Odegaard (0-2) and increasing their lead in a team on five points Manchester City who opened the day with a defeat against the forecast against Brentford at the Etihad.

It was not Arsenal’s clearest game in the first half despite its unquestionable proposition to take the initiative of the game at all times and despite the constant struggles of a goal-defying Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian striker, who has gone eleven games in all competitions without scoring, saw a goal disallowed in the 5th minute for clear offside after controlling a pass from Gabriel Martinelli with great class and in minute 34 the crossbar deflected his Whiplash from the edge of the area.

Wolves entered the field as the bottom team after Nottingham lost against Crystal Palace (1-0).

A strategy that came close to paying off on several occasions in the first half when Guedes broke free, in the second after a serious error in William Saliba’s move, and narrowly missed the goal.

Odegaard lost his balance after the break

After the break, Arsenal opened the can with a choral goal. Gabriel Jesus put in a good pass between the lines, Fabio Vieira, who replaced Granit Xhaka after a quarter of an hour after a concussion, burst into class before the departure of José Sá and Odegaard pushes the ball into an empty goal (53′).

After a 0-1 draw, Arsenal surrendered some of their initiative against a Wolves side that held the ball better but there were no clear-cut chances even when Guedes tried. Arsenal were sentenced to a quarter of an hour to go through again through Odegaard, who fired into the net after José Sá denied Martinelli’s first attempt with his right foot.

The best start in the history of the ‘gunners’

The entry of Daniel Podence, with two good chances, was good for Wolves but the lowest club could not stop this unstoppable march of Arsenal who, with 12 victories in 14 games, improved their best ever starting date in the Premier League in the past. until the 2007-2008 season.
