Arsenal missed the chance to extend their lead over Manchester City as Wolves scored a late equalizer through Tom Edozie, whose strike took a deflection off Riccardo Calafiori. The Gunners had earlier taken the lead through Bukayo Saka and doubled their advantage after the break with a goal from Piero Hincapié.
'We have to blame ourselves,' Arteta said after the match. 'I think the performances in the second half didn't show anything close to the standards that are required in this league to win.' With Manchester City now only five points behind with a game in hand, Arsenal faces a crucial test against Tottenham this weekend.
