Arsenal missed the chance to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after Wolves scored a late equalizer through Tom Edozie, whose strike deflected off Riccardo Calafiori. The Gunners had taken an early lead through Bukayo Saka and doubled their advantage in the second half when Piero Hincapié finished off a move involving Gabriel Magalhaes.
Arteta was left frustrated with his team's second-half performance, stating they "need to go through the pain" ahead of their crucial fixture against Tottenham on Sunday. Manchester City now trail Arsenal by just five points with a game in hand after the dropped points at Molineux.
