Arsenal Edge Wolves on Last-Gasp Own Goal to Stay Five Points Clear

Arteta decried "horrible" defensive habits after a flat display that leaned on Bukayo Saka’s delivery.

Overview

  • Both Arsenal goals were own goals off Bukayo Saka deliveries, with Sam Johnstone scoring in the 70th minute and Yerson Mosquera turning in at 90+4 after Tolu Arokodare’s 90th-minute equaliser.
  • Arsenal failed to register a first-half shot on target, underscoring attacking bluntness despite territorial control.
  • Mikel Arteta said parts of the performance were "unacceptable," citing a late spell of passive defending that led to Wolves’ goal.
  • Ben White exited on 31 minutes with a suspected hamstring injury, with scans pending as defensive depth remains stretched.
  • Gabriel Jesus returned as a substitute and pressured Mosquera on the winner, while Wolves stayed winless at the bottom with two points and a ninth straight league defeat.
