EPL: Arsenal move five point clear with win over Wolves, Chelsea lose
Arsenal sealed a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday night to move five points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Champions Manchester City had lost to Brentford earlier on Saturday giving the Gunners the chance to extend their lead.
The result means Arsenal will be top on Christmas Day for the first time since 2007 and in contrast, Wolves are now bottom of the league.
