Arsenal Edge Wolves in 10-Man Thriller

Arsenal overcame the dismissal of Myles Lewis-Skelly to beat Wolves 1-0 and keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Arsenal kept up their chase of Premier League leaders Liverpool on Saturday after a 1-0 win over Wolves in which both teams went down to 10 men.

The Gunners missed a number of chances before teenage left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly was shown a straight red card for "serious foul play" after a trip on Matt Doherty just 10 yards outside the Wolves box.

Mikel Arteta's team were furious but found a way back into the game when João Gomes was shown a second yellow card in the 70th minute and substitute Riccardo Calafiori swept the winner home just four minutes later.

The win keeps Arsenal six points off Liverpool at the top, though the Reds have a game in hand.
