Arsenal end a torrid week just where they need to be in Premier League title race
A torrid week ends with Arsenal top of the table. There are worse places to be and they could be four points ahead of Manchester City before the champions play again. If the eventual verdict is that the last seven days costs Arsenal the Premier League as well as the Champions League, none of the damage was done at Molineux.
The footballing cliché is that it is the sort of win champions secure, an away win that was ground out in forgettable fashion; the likelier scenario may be, got one: not so much in the quality of the performance but in the way Arsenal showed the resolve to avert suggestions their season is in meltdown.
