With nine players on the field and two red cards – Arsenal are overthrown by Wolves
Arsenal were defeated on the trip to the Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 in the 22nd week of the Premier League.
The Gunners took the lead after just nine minutes of play through Bukayo Sakas, but his goal was disallowed for offside by the VAR.
However, Nicolas Pepe (32.) Made sure that this time it is a regular goal, after an assist by Alexandre Lacazette.

The Gunners were extremely unlucky in the 45 + 3 minute, after David Luiz made an unauthorized interference in the area of his team, causing a penalty.
From the white spot, Ruben Neves (45 + 5 ′) was shown to be correct, to equalize the figures at 1-1.

The second half was even more dramatic, with Arsenal being shocked two more times.
Initially, Joao Moutinho turned the score around for 2-1 in the 49th minute, to give his team the lead goal.

Bernd Leno was not on his best night, and like his teammate Luiz he too was punished with a red card in the 72nd minute.
Wolves had the chance to deepen the lead even more, but luckily they did not want them to score more goals.
