The script has become a familiar one in this part of the Black Country, yet Arsenal played as though they never knew what was coming. Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have been so impressive against the Premier League’s top six this season, added another scalp to their impressive collection with a resounding victory that raises major questions about Arsenal’s ability to secure a top-four finish.
Inspired by the outstanding Diogo Jota, who covered just about every blade of grass and left the field to a standing ovation in the second half, Wolves tore Arsenal apart with a devastating 19-minute spell of attacking football in the first half that yielded all three goals. Ruben Neves scored the first with a glorious free-kick, Matt Doherty headed in the second and Jota dispatched the third on the stroke of half-time.
