"We did a bit better in the second-half, managed to score but then we had a period of three minutes, so passive, really poor defensive habits. It's not acceptable for us at that level because we haven't conceded a single shot until that point. The first time they do it they score a goal. That's the Premier League and we need to be very much aware of that and improve."
"We had a lot of situations where we did not pick the right player in the final pass, where we have an overload in the box and we hit the first man. It's not the standards."
"It always gives you belief that you can always find a solution," said Arteta."
Arsenal defeated bottom club Wolves 2-1 at the Emirates courtesy of a 94th-minute own goal by Yerson Mosquera after a Tolu Arokodare header appeared to equalise. A Sam Johnstone own goal from a Bukayo Saka corner earlier put Arsenal ahead. The win extended Arsenal's lead to five points over Manchester City, with City able to reduce the gap with a win over Crystal Palace. The team showed a lack of clinical finishing, a brief period of poor defensive habits that allowed Wolves to score with their first shot, and frequent poor choices in the final pass. The late victory should boost confidence ahead of a congested festive schedule.
