Arsenal Player Ratings vs Wolves: Here’s how the Gunners fared

Arsenal let a lead slip away as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Wolves at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Stand-in skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had given the Gunners the lead with his 50th goal for the club. David Luiz’s cross fidgeted through to Alexandre Lacazette and he teed up Aubameyang for a first-time finish into the bottom corner.

The Gunners missed a great chance to double the lead minutes later as Conor Coady and Leander Dendoncker made a mess of dealing with Callum Chambers’ cross, but Torreira could only shoot straight at Rui Patricio. Wolves came close to equalising in the first-half but Bernd Leno made a great save to deny Diogo Jota.

Wolves began the second half as they had the first, putting Arsenal under pressure. On the hour mark, Emery sent Gabriel Martinelli on for Lacazette to get the second and apparent killer goal.

That said, Arsenal’s sloppy defence led to their downfall, allowing Raul Jimenez to steal a share of the points 14 minutes from time.
