VIDEO: Arsenal 2-1 Wolves – The Gunners Secures a Dramatic Win after Sa’s Own Goal
Jose Sa’s own goal helped Arsenal complete a dramatic late turnaround in their pursuit of a top-four Premier League place.
Gathogo Wanjiru For long periods Hwang Hee-chan's early effort had looked like being decisive for the visitors.
However, Arsenal substitute Nicolas Pepe leveled from Eddie Nketiah's pass towards the end of a dominant second period in which the hosts had continually pressed for an equalizer.
And as the clock ran down Alexandre Lacazette's effort was inadvertently touched into his own goal by Sa to spark wild celebrations inside the Emirates stadium.
The result sees Mikel Arteta's side move up to fifth in the table, just one point behind fourth-placed Manchester United, with two games in hand, while Wolves who were hoping to further their own Champions League ambitions sit in seventh.
"We don't know today how important this will be but we know the importance of winning our matches," said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who is aiming to guide his team back into Europe's elite club competition for the first time in five years.
"At the end of May, we want to be fighting for those places. After three defeats in the first three games, we had to avoid relegation.
"Then we took it game by game and don't lose sight of the objective with the team. You just have to be consistent with your vision and the way you prepare and believe the result will come."
Bruno Lage's side had gone into the contest searching for their sixth win in seven top-flight matches and a fifth successive away victory in the top flight for the first time in 42 years.
