Bukayo Saka's first Premier League goal helped Arsenal beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 and move to within three points of their sixth-placed opponents.

The 18-year-old winger broke the deadlock two minutes before half-time, finishing superbly with a volley from Kieran Tierney's cross. 

Adama Traore's lobbed finish dropped wide of a post as Wolves pushed for an equaliser.
