Arsenal secured a crucial 1-0 victory over

Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Saturday, January 25, 2025. The decisive goal came in the 74th minute from substitute Riccardo Calafiori, who angled a shot past Wolves' goalkeeper José Sá. 

The match was marked by disciplinary actions, with both teams reduced to ten men. Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly received a straight red card for a deliberate trip on Matt Doherty, a decision that sparked controversy and debate among players and fans.
