Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Arsenal – Game Report – February 2, 2021 | Football24 News English

(EFE) .- Arsenal suffered a nightmare on their visit to the field of Wolverhampton Wanderers (2-1) in a match in which it was traced and ended with nine players on the field due to the expulsions of David Luiz and Bernd Leno.

The Gunners, who were having a great game and had gone ahead through a goal from Nicolás Pepé – the VAR had also canceled them somewhat for offside – saw their options greatly diminished when the Brazilian was expelled after committing a penalty on Willian José in the discount of the first part.

Inside the area, the former Real Sociedad player was accidentally knocked down by Luiz, who was the last defender, which cost him a direct red and a penalty.

He was transformed by Rubén Neves, straight into the squad, and Arsenal had 45 minutes ahead to suffer with one less.

But the Wolves did not give options. A few moments after leaving the locker room tunnel, Joao Moutinho connected an unstoppable goal from 30 meters for Bernd Leno.

Arsenal still had a ray of hope left to achieve the tie, but it faded when Leno was sent off for touching the ball with his hand outside the area.
