Arsenal went back to the top of the Premier League table by beating Wolves at Molineux.

In a scrappy game, Leandro Trossard scored the opening goal just before half-time and Martin Odegaard added a second late on.

Neither side created very much all game and, in the end, Arsenal held on for a vital 2-0 win.

The victory means the Gunners are now back top of the Premier League, with Manchester City a point behind them.

Simon Collings was at Molineux to rate the Arsenal players...

David Raya 7

Made a brilliant save in the first half to deny Joao Gomes. Very neat and tidy with his overall performance.

Ben White 7

An outsider for Arsenal’s player of the season. Always plays and just so consistent. Solid again.

William Saliba 7

Other than one sloppy pass midway through the first half, he was calm and composed. Rarely troubled by Wolves.

Gabriel 7

Form has dipped over the last fortnight, but much better tonight. Dominant physically and in the air.

Jakub Kiwior 5

Had a very shaky first half and was bailed out by Raya making a great save from Joao Gomes. Steadier after the break.

Martin Odegaard 7

One of those who looks shattered, however he kept going here. Sharp in patches and scored a late second for Arsenal.

Declan Rice 7

Another who is feeling the effects of Arsenal’s busy run. Restored to the No6 role and put in a solid performance.

Kai Havertz 6

Did excellently for Arsenal’s first goal, plucking the ball out of the sky and teeing up Trossard. Looked sharper than in recent weeks.

Opened the scoring with an effort off the outside of his boot. It was either a wonder finish or a shank - but Arsenal won’t care.
