Had to recover quickly there, the Portuguese goalkeeper.
That's Mali's side, with a waddly back line.
Rice is left by everyone.
All the way through to a very grateful goalkeeper.
And challenged, barely, by Andre.
And two Brazilian midfielders,
and here's Samaelo, panning away on this right-hand side.
Zanabias, the early ball, here it is!
Well, he made decent contact.
Couldn't keep it down.
I tell you what, that is every striker's dream, that ball coming in.
Turns on the afterburner, Samaelo down this right-hand side,
and Trossard can't stay with him, and he hasn't got the ball,
but look at that delivery in.
That is absolutely on a sixpence.
You've just got to keep your eye on the ball and make the contact.
Bugnieri to Martinelli, who's a bit more central.
Trossard, towards Havertz!
Inches wide of that bottom corner.
It's the best chance Arsenal have had.
He found himself in a really good position, nicely worked.
From Bugnieri into Martinelli.
Trossard's got loads of time to pick this cross out.
Bugnieri, nice hold-up play from the youngster.
Nice, into action.
Trossard, Havertz!
Another brilliant start.
Really good first touch.
Bugnieri opens the play out, Beckham nice puts in.
I think this is another, it's a left-footed inside of the foot.
I was hoping it was the outside of a right foot to match that pass he made just before that as well,
but look at that for a chance.
He's just got to miss the keeper, but it's within stretching range.
Good pressure on Straten-Arsene too.
And the ball back high up the pitch.
Arsenal and Martinelli's bubbled over.
Michael Oliver took a long look at it before waving away the protests.
And then you'll have to do a big bit of contact inside his penalty area.
Kovac.
And what a pass-through for Amadei, who has made the challenge there.
And it was.
It's not just Warrant's and the yellow card,
what it has done is it's given Arsenal a free kick just outside the penalty area.
That's a big decision for the referee, isn't it?
Because it's a, listen, that's a yellow card anywhere else on the pitch.
I don't care what you're saying, Max.
In from Rice, a knee by Black.
He was scurrying, I think, just...
And scoring a goal from that position.
Unless he's saying something else, Max, I can't believe that that's been given.
It's a huge goal.
I mean, it's a cynical challenge.
We know that. It's got to be a booking.
It's not sending off, it's not violent.
I don't see where the danger is to the player.
In it comes.
Witherts was just underneath it in the end.
Tindall wanted more.
Some sort of shove.
Here comes Rice.
Stinging the thighs of Jose Sarr.
Great strike by Rice, nice height for the keeper.
Again, Arsenal finding it easy to win the ball back.
Tejero spreads the ball over.
Samedo did well to keep it in.
Here it was again, with a sighted goal.
And just as he did in the first half, he sends it off target.
Samedo had made too much work for himself.
Similar routine from Arsenal.
The ball's better, though.
Witherts couldn't get that header on target.
Slightly more difficult than his chance in the first half.
But really, a forward should be getting this on target.
He needs to get it down and across the keeper.
Arsenal defending.
Kunyap wants the challenge.
He gets the shot away.
And that is a fantastic save.
Couldn't have the most pace on this shot.
So we'll have a look.
I don't think there was a deflection, but it breaks kindly.
Xabi's ball in away, not completely.
And Kunyap with a second chance in a matter of moments.
Flashes his strike wide.
That's his kind of chance, isn't it?
At the back post.
He's got to take it quick.
He makes his mind up early.
He keeps it down.
It goes across goal.
Actually, since the dismissal.
Lewis Skelly.
Has caught a nasty one there.
And it's a second yellow card for Joao Gomes.
Which means we are back very much on a level playing field here at Molineux.
With just over 20 minutes remaining.
Both sides down to 10.
Victor Pereira is very disappointed, to say the least.
That challenge.
There is becoming this over-exaggerated attempt to pass a ball back to the opposition team.
When you do concede a free kick now.
Fans are terrified of being booked for it.
Martinelli.
Havertz.
He's rising.
Calafiore!
It's only a second goal for Arsenal.
But he is popped up at exactly the right time.
They've had to huff and puff, Arsenal.
It's not gone all their way.
But that is a brilliant way of taking the lead here.
As the first ball comes in, I was gutted that Havertz didn't make it.
But he controls that half-volley as it comes out beautifully.
His other goal he scored, Max, when he smashed it into the side of the goal, didn't he?
From the edge of the box.
Just so well controlled, both of them.
And that one, lovely.
It's the hardest one to hit, a half-volley.
Keep it under control.
He's kept it down, away from the keeper.
And only a few minutes after the sides are levelled up with players on the pitch,
Arsenal take the lead.
The previous one was the 14 minutes against Tottenham.
He liked that one.
And he's delighted with that.
That one's going for him.
He's looking for his three-sheet in nine appearances.
...by Mikel Arteta's side.
They were reduced to ten men just before the interval.
And it looks as though things may not have been going their way this afternoon.
But then Ricciardo Calafiori came off the bench at the interval
and popped up when his side needed him most to score the winning goal at Molineux.
It means that the Gunners continue their pursuits of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.
Mikel Oliver will no doubt take a lot of the spotlight,
a lot of the headlines following this afternoon's game.
Full-time here in the West Midlands, it's 4-0, Arsenal 1.
