"The defining moment of the match arrived when Wolves swung a hopeful cross into the Arsenal penalty area. Defender Gabriel Magalhaes seemed well-positioned to clear the danger with ease, but Raya made the fateful decision to race off his line to claim the ball. The Spaniard collided with his own teammate, spilling the cross directly into the path of Tom Edozie. Edozie's fierce strike toward the open net hit Riccardo Calafiori before going over the line, silencing the away supporters."
"Are Arsenal bottling the league again? The result raises immediate and uncomfortable questions about Arsenal's composure. With Manchester City relentlessly breathing down their necks, the margin for error has evaporated. Should City emerge victorious in their upcoming clash against Newcastle United, they will move to within just two points of the Gunners. Having finished as runners-up for three consecutive seasons, the psychological scars at Arsenal are a major talking point. Mentality will play a defining role if Arteta's squad is to finally conquer the league and end their long trophy drought. Arsenal must now prove they can rebound from this heartbreak, or risk watching another title slip through their fingers."
Arsenal led 2-0 for much of the match but conceded twice late as Wolves fought back to draw 2-2. Hugo Bueno’s goal gave Wolves momentum and belief to push for a comeback. A hopeful cross prompted a collision between goalkeeper David Raya and defender Gabriel Magalhaes, which spilled the ball to Tom Edozie; Edozie’s shot deflected off Riccardo Calafiori and crossed the line in stoppage time. The dropped points tighten the title race with Manchester City poised to close the gap and raise urgent questions about Arsenal’s composure and mental resilience under pressure.
