ON A DRAMATIC, rain-lashed evening at Molineux, Wolves beat nine-man Arsenal 2-1 to record their first win since December 15 and their first double over the visitors since 1979.
The home side showed resilience in ending their eight-game winless run, with a goal either side of the interval, while the Gunners imploded in their bid to grab a sixth victory in eight games.
It would have propelled them into sixth place, but they instead fell to their first Premier League defeat of 2021.
