"It's not good enough for a team trying to win the title. And the way things unravelled at the end with Trossard just trying to waste time and then David Raya panicking, he came out when he didn't need to come out it doesn't bode well for Arsenal being able to handle the pressure. There is clearly a lot of nerves within the camp, the whole situation seems to be getting the better of them."
"Arsenal are on a run of just two wins from their last seven Premier League games. Even though Manchester City haven't been spectacular, they now have the chance to close the gap to just two points thanks to Arsenal failing to capitalise on their strong position. It may still be that Arteta's men can turn things around, but if they do end up finishing second for a fourth year in a row, they'll look back on results like last night."
"Arsenal legend Alan Smith has singled out David Raya for panicking at a crucial moment in last night's 2-2 draw against Wolves. The Gunners were 2-0 up away to the side currently sitting bottom of the Premier League table, but somehow managed to only come away with a point. Raya certainly looked culpable for that Wolves equaliser, with Smith singling the Spaniard out for looking nervy and making a poor decision that ultimately led to a goal."
Arsenal surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 away to bottom-of-the-table Wolves, despite appearing dominant earlier. David Raya exited his goal unnecessarily late in the game, an action that directly contributed to Wolves' equaliser. Nerves appeared widespread across the squad during the closing stages, with time-wasting and anxious decisions undermining control. Arsenal have won only two of their last seven Premier League matches, reducing their margin in the title race. Manchester City can cut the gap to two points as a result. The side risks finishing second again unless consistency is restored. Mikel Arteta faces the task of settling players and managing pressure.
