Riccardo Calafiori‘s goal earned Arsenal a 1-0 win away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday after a contest which ended with both sides down to 10 men, and the visitors keep their Premier League title hopes alive with a hard-fought victory.

Arsenal had Myles Lewis-Skelly controversially sent off just before the break and Wolves João Gomes received his marching orders with 20 minutes remaining and the game still scoreless.
