Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard scored two goals to edge the Gunners past lowly Wolverhampton Wanderers and move five points clear at the top of the Premier League.

The Norwegian midfielder, one of the revelations of Arsenal's swashbuckling early-season form, slotted his first into a gaping net in the 55th minute after a Fabio Vieira crosses at the end of a typically clever passing by the visitors.

Odegaard bagged his second off a rebound 20 minutes later.

The result left Arsenal first in the Premier League on 37 points, five ahead of Manchester City who lost at home to Brentford earlier in the day.

Despite plenty of effort and passionate support from their fans at Molineux stadium, it was ultimately another miserable day for Wolves, who are bottom of the league on 10 points.

They were watched by their incoming manager Julen Lopetegui from the stands before he formally takes the reins.
