FT: Wolves 1-3 Arsenal

It was a valiant effort in the (especially in the first half) by Wolves, but Arsenal stepped it up a gear and showed why they are unbeaten.

[Eggy]

Arsenal is just too much. We put in a great effort but Arsenal is a class above.

The positive is that most everyone at the bottom lost as well, with Man City in action tomorrow, so Wolves are 19th, on goal difference, 3 points out of safety, and 3 points up on last placed Leeds.

Next 3 matches are: At Leeds, home to Fulham, at Leicester. I'd say 6 out of 9 points is a realistic target, and anything less than 4 is a dissapointment.
