Arsenal 5-0 Wolves LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Arsenal vs Wolves LIVE!

Arsenal thumped Wolves to finish their season with a flourish at Emirates Stadium. Granit Xhaka scored twice as the Gunners ended the campaign on 84 points - their highest points tally since the ‘Invincibles’ team took the title with 90 in 2003-04.

Xhaka posted a ‘Thank You Gunners’ message on Instagram prior to kick-off and put Arsenal on their way to a comfortable win with two early goals. Bukayo Saka curled in a superb third before half-time and Gabriel Jesus and Jakub Kiwior completed a rout.

Their title challenge may have collapsed in recent weeks, but Arsenal looked back to their best in this win. The only concern was Saka had to be substituted in the second after he was on the receiving end of some hefty Wolves challenges. Saka could now be a doubt for England’s two Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia next month.

Granit Xhaka gets perfect Arsenal farewell but decision over his future is sign of club’s bold transfer plans

Four years ago, the idea of Arsenal fans giving Granit Xhaka a standing ovation and singing for him to stay seemed unthinkable.

The midfielder was at rock bottom and desperate to leave Arsenal after a public falling out with fans and being stripped of the captaincy.

How times change, though, and Xhaka was given the perfect send-off by Emirates Stadium in what is expected to be his final game before he joins Bayer Leverkusen this summer.

Xhaka deserved the standing ovation too after scoring twice in the opening 15 minutes of a 5-0 thumping of Wolves.

Mikel Arteta lays down title challenge to Arsenal: ‘If we want to be the real deal, we can’t be happy’

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal cannot be happy with finishing second in the Premier League if they want to be “the real deal”.

The Gunners finished off the season by beating Wolves 5-0 at home on the final day to finish five points off champions Manchester City.

It capped off an impressive campaign for Arsenal, who scored a club-record number of goals and equalled their most wins in a single season.

Arteta, however, insists they cannot be satisfied with that as he challenged his side to compete for the title again next season.

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium

A perfect end to the season for Arsenal as they thump Wolves. Granit Xhaka with two goals as he gets the perfect send-off. Plenty of good performances, though, with Saka bright before he came off. After a tough few weeks, Arsenal fans needed this.

Granit Xhaka 9 | Star player

Scored twice in what is expected to be his last match for Arsenal before he joins Bayer Leverkusen this summer. Was excellent and should really have had a hat-trick.
