The visitors came close to equalizing, particularly when debutant Jorgen Strand Larsen’s header forced a brilliant save from Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
Wolves continued to press after the break, with Rayan Ait-Nouri and Matheus Cunha both missing opportunities to level the score.
However, Arsenal capitalized on Wolves’ poor finishing for the second goal.
Saka doubled the lead, converting Havertz’s pass with a powerful near-post shot past goalkeeper Jose Sa.
Raya, named Player of the Match, ensured Arsenal’s clean sheet with a crucial late save from Pablo Sarabia, sealing off all three points for the Gunners.
