ARSENAL showed courage and character to emerge with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday evening. 

At a raucous Molineux on a cold February night, Mikel Arteta’s ten-man Gunners sealed what could be a crucial triumph over Wolves.

The match turned out to be a tale of two Gabriels after the visitor’s centre-back grabbed the only goal in the first half – before referee Michael Oliver’s controversial decision after the interval to hand attacker Gabriel Martinelli two yellow cards in the space of seconds, to leave Arsenal battling with 10 men.
