Arsenal registered a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Gunners made a strong start against the Midlands outfit at the Molineux Stadium but lacked the cutting edge in front of goal.
Kai Havertz squandered two brilliant chances to find the back of the net, and Arsenal were handed a significant setback before the interval.
Referee Michael Oliver brandished a straight red card for a tactical foul from Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Arsenal responded brilliantly with a positive attitude after the break. Joao Gomes’ sending-off in the 70th minute was a huge boost for them.
Riccardo Calafiori grabbed the winner with a terrific first-time shot in the 74th minute before David Raya made a crucial save to deny Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Calafiori was undoubtedly the man of the match, but there were several stand-out performers including Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes.
Thomas Partey was equally impressive in the heart of the midfield. He stepped up with a strong showing particularly after the Gunners went down to 10 men.
The Ghanaian won seven duels and made seven ball recoveries. He completed 100 percent of his long balls (3/3) with three successful tackles and two interceptions.
Partey had a passing accuracy of 89 percent. He looked back to his best in his preferred holding midfield position after a tough time at right-back against Aston Villa.
The £12.6 million-rated midfielder has had an injury-plagued Arsenal career but has made 33 appearances this term, which is his second-most in a single season at the club.
