"Arteta said he was extremely disappointed, obviously, with the result, with the way the game ended, but we have to blame ourselves. I think the performance in the second half didn't show anything close to the standards that are required in this league to win, and with the margins that I think should have existed today, especially in the manner that we played the first half. Any hit, any bullet, take it, because we didn't perform at the level that is required."
"We're still learning about him as well, Edwards said. He's been training with us over this last week or two. We just had a feeling. Sometimes you have a feeling and then that gut has proved right. As he was coming on, I just put my arm round him and said: This could be your moment, go and take it.' His family will remember that for a long, long time."
Arsenal let a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at Wolves after a 94th-minute equaliser. Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie had put Arsenal ahead before Hugo Bueno and debutant Tom Edozie rescued Wolves. The draw cost Arsenal two points and intensified questions over their title credentials despite sitting five points clear of Manchester City with a game in hand. Mikel Arteta described extreme disappointment, blamed his team and said the second-half performance fell below league-winning standards. Wolves manager Rob Edwards praised Edozie's impact after the 19-year-old scored less than ten minutes into his Premier League debut.
