Leno, Maitland-Niles, Papastathopoulos, Koscielny, Monreal, Torreira, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Iwobi, Lacazette Arsenal needed only a point to reclaim fourth spot from Chelsea but conceded


three times before the break. Unai Emery's side were stunned as Wolves recovered from a slow start to take the lead with a stunning Ruben Neves free kick before Matt Doherty headed a


second in the 37th minute. It got even worse for Arsenal in first-half stoppage time as they carelessly gave the ball away in midfield and Diogo Jota surged through to fire a shot past Bernd


Leno. A late Sokratis header from Granit Xhaka's cross was scant consolation for the Gunners fans who had made the trip to the Midlands. With three games left Arsenal remain in fifth


place, a point behind Chelsea and four behind third-placed Tottenham. Wolves moved into seventh spot - a position that could offer a route into European football next season. * Ruben Neves


bends in a beauty of a free-kick from 25 yards to give the hosts the lead * Wolves work a short corner into a crossing position and Matt Doherty rises to double the lead * Diogo Jota seizes


on a loose ball, races clear and fires low under Bernd Leno * Sokratis meets Granit Xhaka's corner with a close-range header
