Late Wolves Own Goal Lifts Arsenal to Five-Point Lead

Arteta questioned his side’s defensive habits, with Ben White’s hamstring now a fresh worry.

Overview

  • Arsenal won 2-1 after Yerson Mosquera’s 90+4' own goal from a Bukayo Saka cross under pressure from Gabriel Jesus, following Sam Johnstone’s 70' own goal.
  • Wolves had equalised in the 90th minute through Tolu Arokodare on a night when Arsenal failed to register a first-half shot on target.
  • The victory moves Arsenal five points clear at the top of the Premier League, while Wolves remain last on two points after a ninth straight league defeat.
  • Mikel Arteta criticised “horrible defensive habits” in the closing stages and said the performance left margins tighter than required.
  • Ben White limped off after 31 minutes with a suspected hamstring injury, and Arteta said scans will determine the extent.
