Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 5, Granit Xhaka 4; Pedro Neto 8, Daniel Podence 9 - Arsenal v Wolves player ratings

Wolves secure 2-1 win at Emirates Stadium despite early loss of top scorer Raul Jimenez to a sickening head injury

ARSENAL RATINGS: Bernd Leno, 6 – The Arsenal shot-stopper was the victim of some static defending in front of him, epitomised as Daniel Podence pounced on the loose ball to slot home after Leno had smartly saved from Neto with his feet. Reuters

Hector Bellerin, 6 – Another hard working display from the right-back who was buzzing around the Wolves box when Arsenal were able to get on the front foot, but produced a vital header at the other end to nick the ball away from Pedro Neto. AFP

David Luiz, 5 – He suffered a nasty clash of heads with Raul Jimenez in the opening stages that left Luiz heavily bandaged and both players needing lengthy treatment. He bravely soldiered on, but struggled against the unrelenting pace of the Wolves attack. EPA

Gabriel, 7 - The soaring Gabriel produced a monstrous header to level the scores, but he was floored by the brilliance of Podence who restored his side’s lead. In fairness, the defender bounced back again though with a series of vital interventions to keep his side in the game. Reuters

Kieran Tierney 5 - It was a difficult night’s work for the normally classy full-back who struggled to contain the energy of Adama Traore and the trickery of Podence and failed to provide his side with any real attacking support on the left flank. Reuters

Dani Ceballos, 5 - Another quiet evening for the midfielder who saw little of the ball as the opposition looked to work the ball in wide areas, which made it difficult for Arsenal to escape their own territory. Reuters

Granit Xhaka, 4 – Like Ceballos, he had minimal impact in a passive opening 45 minutes from his side and things didn’t get much better after the break which led to his withdrawal for the closing stages. Reuters

Joe Willock, 5 - I’m genuinely not sure if he touched the ball in the first-half. To his credit, he worked hard to try and get involved in the second but, despite asking the Wolves defence a couple of questions, he was unable to create anything of real significance. Reuters

Willian, 6 - What he’s lacking in years he certainly has in quality and he inch-perfect cross put the equaliser on a plate for Gabriel, but he couldn’t replicate that same pinpoint accuracy when he fired a free-kick over the bar from a promising area. AFP

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 5 – Just two goals in 10 Premier League games now for Aubameyang who started brightly as his early cut-back almost caused problems, but nodded a golden chance over late on and was ultimately isolated for most of the game. AFP

Bukayo Saka, 7 - The versatile youngster never seems to stop running. His pace on the counter caused issues again as he picked out Aubameyang whose pull-back was hacked clear, and he continued to make a nuisance of himself in the second-half. AFP

SUB: Rob Holding, 6 - Replaced David Luiz at the break who, despite his bravery, was clearly worse for wear as blood continued to flow from that nasty head wound, but the substitute could only head over from Saka’s cross and was booked for hauling down Traore. AFP

SUB: Reiss Nelson, 6 - Brought on for Willian who, despite his assist, had found openings hard to come by. He almost struck the equaliser too, but he lashed over on the volley after a neat piece of chest control. Reuters

SUB: Alexandre Lacazette, NR - The striker was hauled in desperation by Arteta for the final 12 minutes, but it was too little too late and he had little opportunity to make an impact. Reuters

WOLVES RATINGS: Rui Patricio, 6 – There was little he could do to keep out Gabriel’s thumping header, but beyond that he had little to do. Despite that, he nearly caused himself problems when a sloppy touch saw him robbed of possession by Aubameyang. Reuters

Nelson Semedo, 7 - A calm and collected night’s work from the full-back who was beaten by the pace of Saka early on but marshalled the game well for the most part, although he was thankful to see Aubameyang head wide after losing an aerial battle with the Gabon man. Reuters

Willy Boly, 6 – Another who was largely untroubled asides from Gabriel’s leveller, he joined a lengthy list of names in Michael Oliver’s book for cynically taking out the advancing Willock. AFP

Conor Coady, 7 - A commanding display from the skipper, though his heart will have been in his mouth as he slid in to try and repel a low cross but ultimately came within inches of poking the ball into his own net. AFP

Fernando Marcal, 7 – The left-back capped a composed performance with a pivotal header to see off Saka's dangerous cross as Arsenal lay siege to the Wolves penalty area late on, after he had earlier picked out Neto with a smart ball down the line. Reuters

Adama Traore, 8 - The winger’s terrifying pace is normally enough to give any defender nightmares. He wriggled away from Kieran Tierney before standing up a lovely cross that was eventually bundled home by Neto and was again instrumental in the build-up to Wolves second. Reuters

Leander Dendoncker, 6 - Right place, right time, but the wrong outcome as the midfielder’s header hammered the woodwork when it looked easier to score, while Leno was easily able to hang on to another headed effort from the midfielder. Reuters

Joao Moutinho, 6 - Having earlier floored Gabriel with an absolute piledriver, he was caught flat-footed as Saka burst away from him with Arsenal chasing an equaliser. In fairness to Moutinho, he probably covered every blade of grass in a breathless outing. Reuters

Daniel Podence, 9 - Quite simply brilliant. After a subdued start to the campaign the Wolves man is flying now and he restored his side’s lead with a calm finish into the corner after an exquisite flick over the grounded Gabriel. AFP

Pedro Neto, 8 - The tricky winger looked keen to add to his strike against Southampton from the off and he did so. He had Arsenal defender’s scrambling inside the opening 30 seconds and smashed home the opener after Dendoncker shook the bar. Reuters

Raul Jimenez, 6 – Wolves’ star striker will have been keen to add to his tally at the Emirates, but his side suffered a huge blow as a nasty clash of heads with David Luiz saw the Mexican striker’s evening come to an abrupt end when he was stretchered off inside 10 minutes. EPA

SUB: Fabio Silva, 7 - An early introduction for the 18-year-old who looked at ease against an at times quivering defence. He was unlucky not to grab an assist too as Traore fired into the side netting from the teenager’s selfless lay-off. Reuters

SUB: Ruben Neves, 6 - Replaced the superb Podence for the final 20 minutes as Wolves switched to a more robust shape to preserve their advantage, but he didn;’t see much of the ball in truth. Reuters

SUB: Max Kilman, NR - Replaced a fellow substitute when he was brought on in place of Fabio Silva for the closing stages as Nuno Espirito Santo looked to protect his side’s lead, which they did in fairness. Reuters

Wolves recovered from losing top scorer Raul Jimenez to a sickening head injury to inflict Arsenal's third consecutive home league defeat with a 2-1 win at the Emirates on Sunday.

The Mexican received treatment from medics for 10 minutes on the floor after colliding with David Luiz before being stretchered from the field.

Luiz continued with blood seeping into a white bandage wrapped around his head until half-time, when he was replaced by Rob Holding, leading to fresh calls for the introduction of concussion substitutes in football.

The rest of the Wolves team had combined for just five goals in their previous nine league games, but Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence struck to hand the visitors a first win away to Arsenal since 1979.

Sky Sports reported Jimenez is conscious in hospital and responding to treatment.
