Arsenal 4, Wolves 1
Arsenal now move to second on the EPL ladder after another impressive display. Arsene Wenger's men were quiet for the first 20 minutes, but then began to settle and started playing their quick, easy on the eye, football.
Despite two of the four Arsenal goals were own goals by Wolves players, it was still a classy display from the North London side, who are quickly establishing themselves as clear title challenges.
Manuel Almunia: 6
Little do to and will once again be annoyed he failed to keep a clean sheet.
Bacary Sagna: 8
Provided a sensational cross that find van Persie who found Fabregas for the third goal. Defended well enough and was useful in attack.
William Gallas: 6
A little lackluster but was rarely called upon to make a serious challenge.
Thomas Vermaelen: 7
Strong commitment to find the ball and always rose well to clear the long balls.
Kieran Gibbs: 7.5
Once again proved an able deputy for Gael Clichy. Made his presence felt in attack and was hardly bothered down the left.
Abou Diaby: N/A
Sad to see the lanky Frenchmen depart after 20 or so minutes with a calf strain.
Aaron Ramsey: 7
His hard work was rewarded with a first Premier League start of the season. Showed he has improved massively since last season with a strong showing of passing, running and suprisingly good strength.
Cesc Fabregas: 8
Another captains knock from the maestro. Scored an excellent, well worked goal and was always evident in the Arsenal attack.
Eduardo Da Silva: 7
The Croatian easily could of had a hat-trick. Great movement and always a dangerous threat in the box.
Andrei Arshavin: 7
The little Russian ran and tricked and was always a danger to the Wolves defence. A superb first time shot earned his name on the score sheet.
Robin van Persie: 8
May not of got on the score sheet but the Dutchman created and opened up play. Assisted with the third goal.
Substitutes
Alexandre Song: 8
A match-changing substitution, if you like. Came on for the injured Diaby and instantly cut down the Wolves midfield attacks. Boy has he improved since this time last season.
Tomas Rosicky: 7
Maybe could of scored but none the less had a tidy time whilst on the field
Samir Nasri: 7
More game time for the talented Frenchman. His pace and balance looked strong up against the Wovles back line.
