Arsenal is having an excellent campaign in the Premier League. They beat bottom side Wolverhampton and rise to the top of the First Division in England, before the World Cup break.
In two moments, first in the 55th minute with a combination between Gabriel Jesús and Fabio Vieira and then in the 75th minute after a rebound, Martin Odegaard signed his brace and Arsenal’s victory, which increased their lead to five points, for their victory against Wolwerhampton.
There are now 14 games, of which he has won twelve, imposing from the start of the season, with a recognizable appearance of a contender for everything in this edition of the Premier League, in the one that has won six of their last seven games and in which, each time, seems more unattainable for the rest.
Arsenal didn’t even need a great match , limited to a minimum amount of occasions compared to what it usually generates; even more so in the first half, reduced to a goal disallowed due to Gabriel Jesús being clearly offside and another shot to the crossbar by the Brazilian striker, perhaps also in an illegal position that only the VAR would have been detected if it had been a goal.

Except for those two specific moments, Arsenal did not shoot on goal in the entire first half, so strange in a team that generates so much, with individuals likeGabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesús or Saka, because, in addition, Wolwerhampton transmitted more concern to him than vice versa, throwing the local block into vertigo at the counterattack of players like Adama Traoré or Gonçalo Guedes, who was crossed by Saliba’s savior when he proposed for the 1-0.
But Arsenal is full of resources. Even in such a thick game, even though the last in the standings was in front, is capable of solving it out of nowhere, in an instant, as soon as his players connect, as soon as inspiration arises in one of them, as happened with the pass that Gabriel Jesús invented towards Fabio Vieira, who led, endured and gave the 0-1 to his team and Martin Odegaard.
Wolwerhampton no longer reacted, while awaiting the real start of the Julen Lopetegui era. Landed on Friday, the coach he was cheered by his new fans when he strolled across the lawn. Then, from the box, he watched his new team against the best team of the current season in the ‘Premier League’.
In case there was one, Odegaard, already in the 75th minute, sentenced the match, with a volley inside the final area to give another one towards success. Your advantage over him is already five points. A warning to all of the leader, who reaches the break of the World Cup fully reinforced.
