Aaron Ramsdale could not help himself, as he ran nearly half the pitch to celebrate in front of Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves’ face after the Gunners secured a dramatic 2-1 win in the Premier League on Thursday.
The Gunners snatched a 95th-minute winner against a determined Wolves, just when the game seemed to be meandering towards what would have been a painful draw for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Wolves had led the game through Hwang Hee-chan, and were on course for victory, until Arsenal found the equalizer in the 81st minute through a rejuvenated Nicolas Pepe.

FootballPepe also teed up Lacazette for the late winner, which came off Wolves keeper Jose Sa to go down as an own goal.
At full time, Ramsdale ran out of his goal and went straight to Neves, and blatantly celebrated in front of the Portugal star.
To put things into context, Neves became Arsenal’s enemy number 1, after remarkably claiming that the Gunners ‘celebrated like they won the title’ when the two sides met a fortnight ago.
Arsenal won that game 1-0 and Neves said after that game that their celebrations were slightly over the top.
"I can accept the decision about their goal but in some games they give it and in some games, they don't. They need to do the same decisions in every game because it's frustrating for us," Neves said two weeks ago.
Ramsdale has become a popular figure among Arsenal fans since signing from Sheffield United last summer, mainly due to his performances in goal and commitment to the Gunners badge.
