Match Report

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his 50th Arsenal goal but Wolves came from behind to earn a 1-1 Premier League draw at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

The Gabon striker was captaining Arsenal in the absence of Granit Xhaka, who was left out for the second game running after his reaction to being substituted against Crystal Palace.

Aubameyang had failed to score in three consecutive league games but opened the scoring in the 21st minute, though Arsenal remain winless in three top-flight matches after a late leveller.

Wolves struck with 14 minutes to go, Raul Jimenez climbing at the back post to head in Joao Moutinho's cross and extend Wolves' unbeaten league run to six games.

21' GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Wolves (Aubameyang)

Arsenal lead 1-0! Aubameyang with the opening goal of the game, despite Arsenal being under pressure for much of the opening half so far. David Luiz finds Lacazette, who is allowed time to turn and square the ball to his team-mate. 

Aubameyang then slides the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net, out of the reach of Patricio.

42' SAVE! Fine stop from Leno

Huge opportunity for Doherty to level the scoreline, but Leno makes a superb save to deny him! Jota drags the ball back to the edge of the penalty area for Doherty, who drills it towards goal, but Leno manages to get a strong hand to it and pushes it away to safety.

76' GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Wolves (Jimenez)

Jimenez has hardly been involved today, but he has come up with the equaliser. Moutinho chipped a cross into the box and Jimenez got above his marker and powered the ball into the back of the net, past Leno who was wrongfooted.
