Arsenal's quest to extend their lead at the Premier League summit suffered a setback when Wolves, bottom of the table, secured a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time. The Gunners had taken control early with Bukayo Saka's opener and Piero Hincapié's second-half strike, but goals from Hugo Bueno and Edozie's deflected effort earned Wolves a point.
Speaking after the match, Arteta admitted to being "extremely disappointed" with the result, criticizing his team's second-half performance. "We have to blame ourselves," he stated. "The performances didn't show anything close to the standards required in this league to win." With Manchester City now just five points behind with a game in hand, Arsenal must quickly regroup for their crucial North London derby against Tottenham this weekend.
