RICCARDO CALAFIORI’S superb 74th minute strike was enough to hand a vital victory to 10-player Arsenal on a controversial Saturday afternoon at Molineux.
The Gunners’ Italian defender fired past Jose Sa, to give Mikel Arteta’s side three points against Vitor Pereira’s side, who were also reduced to 10, after another dreadful display by referee Michael Oliver.
Oliver had once again chosen to put himself in the headlines with an appalling decision to send off Myles Lewis-Skelly two minutes before the break.
