Arsenal 2-1 Wolves LIVE! Lacazette goal - Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Arsenal vs Wolves LIVE!

Arsenal staged a dramatic late comeback to beat Wolves 2-1 with Alexander Lacazette’s deflected shot deep in stoppage time propelling them to within touching distance of the Premier League’s top-four.

In-form Wolves, who began the evening one place behind Arsenal, looked poised to move into fifth spot as they defended tenaciously to preserve the early lead given to them by Hwang Hee-Chan.

But the home side’s desperate pressure was finally rewarded in the 82nd minute when Pepe turned in the box and fired a shot past Wolves keeper Jose Sa.

In a frantic finale, Pedro Neto shot agonisingly wide for Wolves and Martin Odegaard went close for Arsenal before skipper Lacazette’s shot from close range went in off Sa’s arm to send the home crowd wild.

Arsenal’s third successive league win lifted them above West Ham United into fifth place with 45 points, one behind Manchester United but having played two fewer games.
