The buzz inside the Emirates was still strong as the players emerged from the tunnel for the second half.
Arsenal led 1–0, but it wasn't just the scoreline keeping the crowd energized—it was the way they'd done it.
Izan was among the first out, his head held high as he jogged across the pitch to light applause and scattered chants.
Some fans along the front row stood up and clapped just for him, pointing toward him and gesturing in disbelief, as if still unsure of what they had witnessed before the break.
"Come on, lads," Declan Rice called out, rallying the group as they spread across the grass again.
Odegaard gave Izan a firm slap on the back. "You've got the crowd in your pocket now," he said with a grin.
Izan gave a small smile but kept his eyes forward.
Wolves came out too, with a different energy.
Their players looked more urgent, more deliberate in their steps. Clearly, they'd been given instructions to tighten the screws.
