"It was left to Bukayo Saka to sum up the mood in Arsenal's dressing room. Very flat, admitted the England forward after watching his side surrender a 2-0 lead at Wolves on Wednesday night. A couple of hours earlier, Saka's first goal in 15 games in all competitions his longest drought since breaking into the first team as a fresh-faced teenager in 2018 looked to have set up an easy victory over the Premier League's bottom side to restore Arsenal's seven-point cushion over Manchester City."
"I'm very disappointed with the result and especially how we played in the second half, it's far from the level that we've set this season, said Saka, who was substituted in the 73rd minute with Arsenal leading 2-1. It's time for us to reflect on the few performances and just fix the issues immediately so we can get back to winning games and going on a run and build momentum because we've lost that a bit right now."
"Made captain for the night by Mikel Arteta in the continued absence of Martin degaard, Saka celebrated his rare headed goal by mimicking signing the lucrative contract to 2030, worth more than 300,000 a week, that was announced by Arsenal on Thursday. But his broad smile had turned to a frown by the time he faced the television cameras in the tunnel at Molineux."
Arsenal surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw with Wolves, leaving the dressing room very flat. Bukayo Saka ended a 15-game goal drought with a headed strike and celebrated by mimicking signing a lucrative contract to 2030 worth more than 300,000 a week. Saka was made captain for the night in Martin degaard's continued absence and was substituted in the 73rd minute with Arsenal leading 2-1. Saka called for immediate reflection and a return to basics to rebuild momentum. Arsenal have dropped seven points from winning positions since January and won only two of their last seven league games.
