Sponsored by. ARSENAL finally won a match with ten-men after Myles Lewis-Skelly was controversially sent off. The wonderkid was surprisingly given a red card for a foul on Wolves star Matt Doherty at the end of the first-half in a decision that was described as "nonsensical".

It was the Gunners' fourth sending off this season and they had not won any of their matches without 11 players this term. But Arsenal showed their character and battled past Wolves 1-0. Here is how SunSport rated the players' performances. DAVID RAYA – 8/10.

Very little to do until the 63rd minute when he brilliantly tipped a deflected Matheus Cunha effort wide. He then stopped Rayan Ait-Nouri in a one-on-one in the 84th minute. MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY – 6. Was having another fine game before being the victim of one of most ludicrous red cards in Prem history. His cynical trip was worthy of a yellow and nothing more.
WILLIAM SALIBA – 7. Arsenal just look so solid with him in this backline. A welcome return from a minor hamstring injury. Kept Cunha at bay. GABRIEL – 7. Led from the front and put his body on the line. Constantly headed away from danger. JURRIEN TIMBER – 6.
Hit with some nasty challenges that required treatment – including one that had Joao Gomes sent off – but carried on playing and was resolute. DECLAN RICE – 7. More of a goal threat than in recent weeks and stood up when Arsenal needed him. THOMAS PARTEY – 7.
