LONDON -- If Arsenal needed any clarity on the high-wire act they have signed themselves up for on the run-in, Thursday's dramatic 2-1 win over Wolves was it.
Around the same time as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang added another goal to his burgeoning tally for Barcelona at Napoli, the Gunners turned to contract rebel Eddie Nketiah to rescue something from a game that was drifting away from them.
Nicolas Pepe, the club's largely disappointing £72 million record-signing, had already been thrown on five minutes earlier. With Gabriel Martinelli subdued and eventually substituted, and Emile Smith Rowe absent through illness, manager Mikel Arteta had nothing left on the bench.
