Arsenal took the lead just before the end of the first half with a shot under the crossbar by Trossard. The Belgian scored his ninth goal in the competition. The visitors struck just before the end of the half even following the change of sides. This time, in the fifth minute of regulation, captain Ödegaard scored for the eighth time in the season. The “Gunners” thus got their appetite following Wednesday’s elimination in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with Bayern Munich.
Arsenal are one point ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table, who advanced to the FA Cup final earlier in the evening. Liverpool can catch up with the Gunners on points if they win at Fulham on Sunday. Wolves have not won for the fifth time in a row, they are in eleventh place in the table.
Sheffield became the third team in the history of the English top flight to concede 50 goals at home. So far, only Aston Villa in the 1935/36 season (56) and Chelsea in the 1959/60 season (50) have beaten this goal.
