Arsenal drew 2-2 with Wolves in a bitter defeat: They dropped the win in the final minute of injury time.

Arsenal endured a terrible night at Molineux, dropping two crucial points against bottom-of-the-table Wolves. Despite leading 2-0 until the 60th minute, Mikel Arteta's side conceded a 2-2 equalizer in the final minute of injury time. This result meant the Gunners missed a golden opportunity to extend their lead over Manchester City in the fiercely contested Premier League title race.

Tragedy in the 90+4th minute and David Raya's mistake.

Arsenal seemed to have victory firmly in their grasp as the match entered the final minutes of injury time with a 2-1 lead. However, a moment of lapse in concentration ruined everything. In the 90+4th minute, goalkeeper David Raya made a disastrous mistake, letting the ball slip from his hands after a cross from the left wing. Youngster Tom Edozie immediately seized the opportunity, his shot deflecting off Calafiori's leg and into the net, securing a 2-2 draw.

Notably, this was a harsh punishment for Arsenal's complacency. After Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 in the 56th minute, the visiting players seemed to mistakenly believe the game was over. They reduced their intensity, played leisurely, and inadvertently allowed Wolves to mount a strong comeback in the final minutes.

The injury to Bukayo Saka has been a huge blow.

One of the most crucial turning points of the match was Bukayo Saka's departure in the 73rd minute due to injury. Prior to that, the English star had been the heart of Arsenal's play, deployed in an attacking midfield role. Saka not only scored the opening goal in the 5th minute but also tormented the opposing defense with 5 successful dribbles in the first half alone.

Without Saka, Arsenal's attacking system immediately lost its unpredictability. Counter-attacks became disjointed, lacking cohesion and easily broken down. This put increasing pressure on the defense, leading to a collapse in the final seconds.

The lack of finishing ability from the Wolves attack and their poor spirit.

Despite controlling possession for 68% of the time and having an expected goals (xG) of 1.86, Arsenal were unable to score a third goal to seal the victory. Gabriel Martinelli missed a golden opportunity, while striker Viktor Gyokeres continued his slump, scoring only one goal in his last five matches. The inability to capitalize on their advantage proved costly for Arteta's team.

Conversely, Wolves fought with all their pride despite their extremely low xG (0.29). Manager Rob Edwards' tactical substitution of 19-year-old Tom Edozie brought in new life. Hugo Bueno's goal in the 61st minute was the spark that ignited the West Midlands team's spectacular comeback, securing a valuable point in their fight for survival.
