"For a second successive league game, the Gunners had failed to hold onto a lead following their 1-1 draw at Brentford last Thursday. Failing to kill off bottom of the table Wolves was a devastating setback for Arsenal, who have won just two of their last seven league matches, offering renewed hope to second-placed Manchester City in the title race. City are just five points behind Arsenal and have a game in hand on their rivals, as well as a home game against the Gunners in April."
"Having wasted commanding leads in two previous title fights with City, Arteta's men are in danger of being haunted by the ghost of their past failures. Arsenal looked increasingly nervous as the minutes ticked down against Wolves in a clear sign the league leaders are feeling the pressure of their bid for a first English title since 2004. Adding to Arteta's anxiety, Saka was forced off in the second half with a possible knee injury."
Arsenal conceded a stoppage-time equaliser to draw 2-2 with rock-bottom Wolves after leading through Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie. Hugo Bueno reduced the deficit late before Riccardo Calafiori turned Tom Edozie's shot into his own net following a mix-up between goalkeeper David Raya and centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes. The result continued a sequence of dropped leads, leaving Arsenal with only two wins in their last seven league matches and handing renewed hope to Manchester City, who sit five points behind with a game in hand. Bukayo Saka was substituted with a possible knee injury.
