Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has questioned the mentality of Mikel Arteta's side after they failed to hold onto a 2-0 lead at Wolves. The Gunners, who are five points clear at the top of the Premier League, were criticized for their slow play in the second half before conceding an 89th-minute equalizer from debutant Tom Edozie.
Manager Mikel Arteta admitted his team were 'extremely disappointed' with the result, saying they didn't show 'anything close to the standards required in this league to win.' Bukayo Saka also expressed disappointment at the drop in standards after the break, with Arsenal having won only three of their last eight Premier League matches.
