The visitors settled into the game and began to dominate possession for long spells. Heavily criticized striker Fernando Torres looked sharp in the opening exchanges, and released Juan Mata with a slick through ball, only for Wayne Hennessey to rush out and smother the shot.

Arsenal vs Wolves By Far More Crucial Than Arsenal vs Barcelona – Arsene Wenger
Coach Arsene Wenger has stated that the Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers match in the Premier League had much more importance than the Arsenal vs Barcelona match in the Champions League.
Arsenal currently sit in second place with 50 points; 4 points behind table leaders Manchester United. The Gunners still have a pretty good chance of winning their first Premier League title since the departure of legend Thierry Henry, and Arsene Wenger has refused to give the Champions League competition a higher priority than the EPL.Arsenal were defeated 6-3 on aggregate in the quarter-finals last season by Barcelona, but Wenger believes that a victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers would be vital ahead of his clash against the Catalans. Although the manager is not prepared to put his entire mind on his mid-week match, he feels that the result will be less frustrating than the last time around, and that his side will manage to show great strength, and less respect.
