Martin Odegaard scored a difficult goal against Wolverhampton.
Arsenal clearly took first place in the English championship. And you’re unlikely to miss it anytime soon. The fact is that the Tottenham – City match was postponed until May 14 due to the FA Cup. As for Liverpool, although they can catch Arsenal on points a day later, they are unlikely to beat Fulham by a difference of 10 goals. That is, the goal difference is the first criterion after the number of points.
In the match “Wolverhampton” – “Arsenal” the first half developed quite strangely. Arsenal clearly created more moments and shot a lot, but the hosts almost opened the scoring. Gómez burst into the area and shot against the near crossbar. It seemed that Arsenal was simply lucky, but after replays it became clear that it was Raya who shot: the ball flew from her hands to the place where the crossbar and crossbar meet.
And only at the end of the half did Arsenal score. In the 45th minute, Jesus found himself on the grass, but got up and rolled the ball towards Trossard. It turned out to be a rather clumsy shot because the winger didn’t have time to adapt. Surprisingly, this clumsy shot landed perfectly at the far corner.

The second half turned out to be quite calm (if not boring): Wolverhampton did not score at all until the 71st minute. And even there, Lemina hit from such a distance and angle that it was possible to score only if the goalkeeper had left the field.
It is difficult to draw conclusions from such a game, but if you really want, you can assume that Trossard completely won the competition against Martinelli on the left flank of the attack. Havertz is back in midfield, but that will probably depend more on the opponent. It is true that Partey appeared on the field in the 80th minute and the German continued forward. We can assume that in three days we will see Havertz return to the attack because it may be more difficult to play open football in the derby against Chelsea.

Well, the match ended with a score of 0-2. In the 90+5 minute, Odegaard shot into the nearest corner from an almost zero angle. It seems that José Sa went to intercept the cross beforehand, and the clever Norwegian shot.
