Report: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
Marouane Chamakh scored in the first and last minutes to get Arsenal’s title push back on track at Wolves.
Chamakh put the Gunners ahead inside the first minute when heading home Alex Song’s cross after good work by Tomas Rosicky.
Marcus Hahnemann then spread himself big and saved from Andrey Arshavin in a one-on-one soon afterwards.
But Wolves kept in the game and Richard Stearman’s effort from a corner was cleared off the line by Rosicky, before Arshavin hit the post after a good run on goal.
Johan Djourou’s effort from a corner was also cleared off the line by Karl Henry before Lukasz Fabianski saved from Christophe Berra at the death and Chamakh slotted home at the other end to earn a vital victory for the Gunners.
Arsenal’s
win was the perfect riposte after their shock home reversal against Newcastle on Sunday and kept themselves on course in the title race.

It was a life line of hope and Chamakh make it sure we are still in the race.
A gutsy,hard-earned win against a Wolves team which epitomizes the progress that the fringe teams have made in recent times,a point i have tried to make to those fair-weather fans who either condemn all and sundry or spontaneously call for wholesale changes,everytime that we lose a game against one of these teams.The EPL is not a cake-walk anymore,it is much more competitive than ever,and winning the title will require more of the kind of performance which the team displayed against Wolves,rather than “splashing cash”.
