Half time thoughts

Our chief Arsenal correspondent Kaya Kaynak live at the Emirates

What a half for Arsenal. The perfect start with the two early strikes. Both were wonderfully worked team goals that will delight Mikel Arteta. What may please the Spaniard even more is how well his side have coped as Wolves have got into the game a little more. There’s been nothing too threatening but every Arsenal player to a man is working hard to ensure it stays that way by barely giving Wolves a second to breathe in possession. If the Gunners produce a similar display in the second half they’ll be four points clear at the top of the Premier League tonight!
