PL: Wolves Overcome Jimenez Injury To Condemn Arsenal To Worst Start For 39 Years

Wolves were full value for a 2-1 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates, after seeing striker Raul Jimenez stretchered off following a hideous head clash with David Luiz.

The match was stopped for ten minutes while the Wolves number nine received treatment but, after an understandably tentative restart, the away side were superb with Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence scoring in between Gabriel's header for the Gunners.

After the game, the Wolves players learned Jimenez is conscious in hospital but set to receive scans.

For the first goal, Traore beat Kieran Tierney, as he did throughout the game, and his pinpoint cross was headed against the bar by Leander Dendoncker and Neto reacted quickest to fire home from six yards out.

Then, after Gabriel headed home Willian's cross, two minutes before the interval Traore again started the move with a Maradona-esque 360-degree turn in the centre circle, from where he fed Neto whose effort from 20 yards out was blocked by Leno, but again a Wolves man reacted quickest and Podence brilliantly flicked the ball over the sliding challenge of Gabriel and then fired home.

Although Arsenal had most of the play in the second half, Wolves generally looked comfortable defensively with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's header wide from point-blank range eight minutes from time the closest the hosts came to an equaliser.

The result lifts Wolves to sixth position, while Arsenal remain in 14th ahead of a very important looking North London derby next Sunday.
