The Gunners had now conceded the opening goal in five of their games so far in this Premier League season. They had lost the previous four. They had now scored six goals in their eight games in all competitions so far in 2022.

Comments:

League position: 7th This was the first time in their last 46 games in the Premier League since November 2018 when Wolverhampton Wanderers lost after scoring the opening goal (won 39). Wolves failed in their attempt to equal their club record of five consecutive away wins in the top division; most recently achieved in April 1980 in League Division One. They had now conceded 51 goals in their 47 games in the Premier League since 1 January 2021 (scored 45).
