Mikel Arteta hails Arsenal's 'little magician' after returning to the top of the Premier League table with win over Wolves

Arteta, 42, claimed the Belgian international was a 'magician' following his performance during the 2-0 win against Wolves on Saturday evening.

Trossard scored the opening goal in the crucial clash, after his first time effort curled into the top corner to give Arsenal the lead.

The Gunners looked as if they might be left frustrated by a resilient defensive performance from Gary O'Neil's side, with clear-cut chances few and far between for the club. Outlining how important Trossard's effort to break the deadlock was.

Speaking after the win at the Molineux Stadium, Arteta said: “He is a little magician. He is a big threat. So composed, so cool.”

Arteta and his squad have now returned to the top of the Premier League table, one point ahead of his former employers Manchester City.

Last season's treble winners hold a game in hand over Arsenal and will next be in action against Brighton and Hove Albion on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have their own battles fast approaching. Tough clashes against Chelsea and the north London derby against Tottenham are now on the horizon, marking a huge week in the Premier League title race.
