In a closely fought match, Arsenal secured a crucial victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers with a stroke of luck in the dying minutes. The only goal of the match came from an unexpected source, as Leandro Trossard's scruffy strike found the top corner, giving Arsenal a 1-0 win.

Throughout the game, Wolves had been hoping for some kind of VAR infringement to negate Arsenal's goal. With several key players sidelined, Wolves put up a valiant fight and were unfortunate to come away empty-handed. Despite not displaying their best performance, Mikel Arteta's men managed to snatch all three points.

The match took an unexpected turn when Trossard's shot deflected off his toe and sailed into the net. The Belgian attacker's goal proved to be a game-changer, altering the dynamics of the contest significantly. The away fans erupted with excitement as Arsenal took the lead, realizing that this victory could propel their team to the top of the Premier League standings.

Referee Paul Tierney faced protests from Wolves players, who argued that Matt Doherty was impeded by Gabriel Jesus in the build-up to Arsenal's goal. However, the goal stood and ultimately proved decisive.

The win was a much-needed boost for Arsenal, as they continue their quest for the Premier League title. Although the victory may have relied on a stroke of luck, Trossard's goal demonstrated the importance of seizing opportunities in a highly competitive league.

With the win, Arsenal now find themselves at the top of the Premier League table, albeit temporarily, until other matches are played. The result will undoubtedly give them confidence moving forward, as they seek to maintain their position among the leading contenders.

Overall, Arsenal's victory against Wolves showcased their resilience, even on a day when their performance fell short of expectations. As the Premier League continues, the Gunners will hope to build on this win and continue their pursuit of glory.
