Wolves lost ground in the race for Champions League football as Arsenal handed them their first defeat since the Premier League's restart.

With both Leicester and Manchester United picking up victories earlier in the day, the onus was on Nuno Espirito Santo's side to grab a positive result - but the Gunners struck towards the end of each half.

Bukayo Saka broke the deadlock before the break and Alexandre Lacazette made sure of the three points with a few minutes to go.

Wolves, who could have defended better for both goals, remain sixth in the table but are now three points behind United and six off Leicester, with Chelsea - two points ahead - kicking off against Watford at 8pm.
