Sometimes, statistics do not tell the whole story of a game.

Arsenal had a lot of shots at Molineux and a lot of possession.

But they dominated the game without being in control. And they scored a goal but without putting it to bed.

Leandro Trossard's goal was perfectly timed as it prevented a few nerves setting in during the interval and Wolves never really convinced in terms of getting an equaliser.

And, in the period Arsenal are in - and the results they have endured in the past week - all that mattered on this particular occasion was that they won.

In that sense, it is job done for Mikel Arteta and his players - and now on to Chelsea.
