Wolves 2 – 2 Arsenal

Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead to blow the title race wide open as Wolves snatched a 2-2 draw in stoppage-time at Molineux.

Tom Edozie, 19, came off the bench to score the equaliser on his Premier League debut after a mix-up between Gabriel and David Raya amid extraordinary scenes as Mikel Arteta watched on in disbelief at how the Gunners lost control against the bottom club.

Bukayo Saka’s early goal had looked set to make it a straightforward evening for the Premier League leaders with Arsenal utterly dominant in the first half. When Piero Hincapie scored his first goal for the club early in the second that should have been that.

Bukayo Saka opens the scoring for Arsenal against Wolves to end his 15 game goalless run.

But Hugo Bueno’s stunning curled strike into the top corner altered the mood and Arsenal sat back, trying to hold on to their advantage. It was undone by Edozie’s crisp strike that Riccardo Calafiori could not keep out to spark bedlam inside Molineux.

Arsenal extend their lead at the top to five points but Manchester City now have a game in hand and with Arteta’s team still to travel to the Etihad Stadium this season, this could yet be seen as a major turning point in the Premier League title race.
