Robin van Persie's double gave Arsenal a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton on Saturday that kept the pressure on Manchester United in the title race.

The Netherlands striker struck either side of the break as the Gunners quickly recovered from last weekend's spectacular collapse at Newcastle when they surrendered a 4-0 lead to draw 4-4.

Arsenal is four points behind leader Manchester United having played an extra game. United beat crosstown rival Manchester City 2-1 on Saturday.
