Thrown by the Wolves. Arsenal throw lead away. Great fight shown by Wolves, never gave up, credit to Rob Edwards’ management, and testament to the Premier League drama that bottom can hold top. A point for Arsenal, a turning point in the title race? Manchester City will sense vulnerability. Still a long way to go, more twists and turns to come.
Arsenal just have to be more ruthless and kill these games off. Lose the lead, Jesus loses his discipline. Poor. It’s a time for leaders. Arsenal must respond strongly at Spurs on Sunday when home fans will question their mental resilience and title ambitions.
Arteta and his big players, Gabriel, Rice, Saka and captain Odegaard must rally the players. They would have taken this position pre-season. Five points clear, albeit having played a game more, but with that trip to the Etihad on April 18 looking even more pivotal. It’s about mentality now - and better finishing. #WOLARS
