Arsenal players took a corner, the ball was cleared and the Irish international quickly took the ball and moved forward.

The second player sent off was Joao Gomes from the home team, who received two yellow cards for serious fouls - first in the 36th minute and then again in the 70th. Four minutes later Arsenal took the lead through a goal by Calafiori, who had returned to the game. Gabriel Martinelli crossed into the Wolves penalty area, but the defence managed to clear.
