"We had a lot of situations in the first half that were massive chances. Then we didn't generate that many clear chances in the second half. Then we had periods where we spent three minutes too deep, so passive. There were really poor defensive habits, which are not acceptable for our level. We need to improve that and in the end, you rely on an individual action to score the goal and win the game."
"We knew it was going to be a tough match. We created lots of situations without picking the right players with the final pass. Regardless of how the game goes, you can always find a solution to win it. Now we are going to have a clean week. Then we go again for the Christmas period, we know what happens. But that's it, win the game and go on."
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Wolves after a 94th-minute own goal by Yerson Mosquera. An earlier own goal came when Bukayo Saka's corner struck the post and ricocheted off Sam Johnstone. Tolu Arokodare headed past David Raya in the 90th minute to level before Mosquera's deflection. Arsenal registered no shots on target in the first half for the first time this season and the first time at the Emirates since December 2024. Declan Rice produced Arsenal's first on-target effort in the 67th minute, with Hwang Hee-chan the only player to hit the target before half-time. Mikel Arteta described defensive habits as not acceptable and said the team will take a clean week before the Christmas period.
