Cedric Soares: 7/10 - Put in a shift

Ben White: 8/10 - Always looks so elegant bringing the ball out of defence. Even if it wasn’t that type of match. Also showed he can put his body on the line when needed

Gabriel: 8/10 - Netted the crucial opening goal in a crowded box. A hugely-influential; performance in keeping out Wolves. Booked

Kieran Tierney: 7/10 - A testing evening at times against Wolves tricky No11 Francisco Trincao but stood firm, to play his part in a heartening triumph

Granit Xhaka: 7/10 - Booked in the first half to set Arsenal hearts racing with fear. Who'd have thought it woldn't be him to receive a second half sending off?

Martin Odegaard: 6/10 - On the end of a couple of hefty challenges early and flickered throughout without really making an impact

Bukayo Saka: 7/10 - Full of energy. Or was until he was hooked after Martinelli’s sending off

Alex Lacazette: 6.5/10 - Worked tirelessly throughout. Helped contribute to Gabriel’s opener with a brave but fair challenge on Wolves keeper Jose Sa. Deserved his round of applause when subbed late on for Nketiah
