Arsenal's lead at the Premier League summit stands at two points after another hectic matchday.
Wolves travelled to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday hoping to put a spanner in the works of Mikel Arteta's team, who climbed to the top of the Premier League table last weekend.
However, the Gunners raced into an early 2-0 lead before eventually holding on to win 2-1 in a nervy finish.
Manchester City had to wait until Sunday for a potential reply, with Tottenham holding them to a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Etihad. Liverpool earlier produced an incredible comeback to see off Fulham 4-3 at Anfield, meaning they now sit second and a point ahead of City.
Aston Villa's late 2-2 draw at Bournemouth, meanwhile, sees them stay fourth ahead of Spurs.
Saturday evening saw Manchester United travel to Newcastle as sixth played seventh, Newcastle rising to fifth briefly with a 1-0 triumph.
Elsewhere, Sheffield United were thrashed by Burnley in a battle of relegation contenders at Turf Moor and West Ham were held at home by Crystal Palace.
Brentford beat Luton and Everton earned a valuable win away at Nottingham Forest.
