Having seen the title slip from their grasp following just two wins from their eight league outings prior to kick-off, this term has not ended as Gunners supporters hoped it would.
Their season has, however, been a step in the direction, and they were clearly eager to put on a show in front of their home fans.
It took them less than 15 minutes to move in front, with Granit Xhaka rising highest at the far post to head home on what could be his final appearance for the club.
If this was to be Xhaka’s Emirates farewell, then the Swiss international was certainly bidding goodbye in style as he doubled his tally for the afternoon minutes later, reacting quickest in the box to fire home his seventh league goal of the season.
Arsenal were certainly in no mood to take their foot off the gas, and they put the game beyond any reasonable doubt shortly before the half-hour mark when Bukayo Saka danced his way into the box before curling home a sumptuous effort.
The hosts continued to put their opponents under constant pressure, and Thomas Partey thought he had added Arsenal’s fourth, only for referee Andre Marriner to rule the goal out for a foul on Wolves stopper José Sá.
Mikel Arteta’s men didn’t have to wait much longer to extend their advantage further - just five minutes, in fact - as Gabriel Jesus rounded off his first season at the Emirates with a goal that added even more gloss to the result.
Their triumph was made to look even more emphatic when Jakub Kiwior netted his first ever Arsenal goal as the Gunners signed off on a high in what will go down as a bittersweet season, especially as they sat top of the PL pile for 243 days.
Wolves, meanwhile, end the season in the most underwhelming way possible and, with question marks surrounding the future of Julen Lopetegui, they face a summer of uncertainty.
