Runar Alex Runarsson (Partey, 74) N/A – Made two smart saves after coming on and looked confident. AP
WOLVES PLAYER RATINGS: Rui Patricio 5 – Faced a lot of pressure in the first 45 minutes and made two decent blocks. Could do little about the goal, and then had a quiet second half. AFP
Nelson Semedo 5 – Had a chance to score early on but saw his effort saved by Leno. At the other end, he was given a tough evening by Nicolas Pepe, and was beaten far too easily for the opening goal. EPA
Conor Coady 5 – Had a torrid first half as Arsenal threatened to run riot, but he’ll gain confidence from the win overall. Guilty of turning his back when Pepe opened the scoring. AP
Willy Boly 6 – Battled well in the first half as Arsenal threatened to overrun the home side, and he’ll be grateful for the respite after the break. Made a key block to deny Aubameyang late on. AFP
Max Kilman 5 – Arsenal had a lot of joy in the first half on the right hand side and makeshift full-back Kilman simply couldn’t keep Saka quiet. EPA
Daniel Podence 6 – Distribution was wayward at times, but he played a perfectly weighted pass when it mattered most; his through to Willian Jose leading to the penalty at the end of the first half. AFP
Ruben Neves 6 – His brilliantly struck penalty changed the game, but he struggled to get into the game leading up to that point. However, with the advantage after the break he managed to asset his authority. EPA
Joao Moutinho 7 – Couldn’t deal with Partey and Co in the first half, but his unstoppable effort in the second ended a miserable run of form. A brilliant goal worthy of winning any game. EPA
Adama Traore 6 – Grew into the game on the right-hand side and in the end he gave Cedric a good game, causing the left-back problems with his power and pace. AFP
Willian Jose 7 – A mixed home debut for the new Wolves signing, though it was his run that manipulated the space left behind by Holding and which led to Luiz bringing him down. Some nice hold-up play. PA
Pedro Neto 8 – Switched from side to side and looked dangerous on the left wing. Kept the ball well, delivered dangerous crosses, and his runs caused Arsenal problems. AFP
SUBS: Vitinha (Podence, 62) 6 – Kept the ball well and helped the home side see out the game. AP
Leander Dendoncker (Neves, 74) N/A – Did job as Wolves looked to close out the victory. Solid. AP
Fabio Silva (Da Silva, 91) N/A – Had little time to impress when he came on. PA
ARSENAL PLAYER RATINGS: Bernd Leno 5 – A passenger in the first half, a save from Semedo his only contribution. He could little about either goal, but was punished for a moment of madness in the second half with a red card. EPA
Hector Bellerin 5 – Had a poor game. Liked to get forward but was often guilty of slowing Arsenal’s attacking transitions. Reuters
Rob Holding 6 – Had a solid showing but he did invite Podence to run into space in the build-up to the penalty at the end of the first half. Getty Images
David Luiz 5 – Arsenal fans may feel his red card was harsh, but ultimately he got too close to Jose in a key area. Whatever he’d done well before the penalty, this moment changed the game. AP
Cedric Soares 6– Had a tough job keeping Traore at bay in the second half but he played well in the first 45, and even looked to get forward on occasion. Getty Images
Thomas Partey 7 – The best player on the pitch in the first half. He carved Wolves open with his passing and looked dangerous when running at the home defence. Reuters
Granit Xhaka 5 – He’s been in fine form recently but his passing was loose and he was guilty of giving away needless free-kicks in the second half, one of which warranted a yellow card. PA
Bukayo Saka 7 – Saka could have had four goals in the first 25 minutes. He hit the post, had a shot well saved and saw a goal chalked off for offside. Lively. Getty Images
Emile Smith-Rowe 6 – Had a solid first half but faded after the break. He was the perfect foil for Partey in the opening 45 and made it look effortless at times. AFP
Nicolas Pepe 7 – Pepe showed signs of real quality. His goal was well taken, though there was an element of fortune in how he managed to get past two defenders. Was an unfortunate casualty of a change in shape in the second half. AFP
Alexandre Lacazette 6 – Made way at the break as Arteta looked to strengthen his back line. He started brightly and set up Saka well, though strayed offside in the build-up. Reuters
SUBS: Gabriel Magalhaes (Lacazette, 45') 6 – Made some decent blocks and interceptions when he came on, and perhaps should have formed part of a three after the break. Reuters
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Pepe, 61’) 5 – Had a shot blocked late on but did little to give Arsenal more of an attacking threat late on. AFP
