Arsenal get lucky break to go five points clear, Salah returns for Liverpool
Premier League leaders Arsenal needed two own goals, the second deep in stoppage time, to scrape a 2-1 home win over bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers and open a five-point gap while earlier on Saturday Mohamed Salah put aside a tumultuous week to help Liverpool beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0, Reuters reported.
The table will show that Wolves remain cast adrift with two points from their opening 16 games, but they played well above their lowly standing and when Tolu Arokodare headed them level in the 90th minute Arsenal were stunned.
After defeat by Aston Villa last weekend, failure to beat Wolves at home would have blown the title race wide open, but when Bukayo Saka swung in a cross towards substitute Gabriel Jesus in the fourth minute of stoppage time, it flew in off the head of the unfortunate Yerson Mosquera, according to Reuters.

An impartial, professionally skilled, and procedurally transparent employee framework is essential for a dynamic Parliament. While upholding the autonomy of the Parliament, I am confident that our collective efforts will continue to render this service timely, technology-oriented, and specialized. With this conviction, I once again extend my warmest greetings to all.
