Arsenal missed the chance to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table after being held to a 2-2 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday, Afrosport reports.
The Gunners played out a disappointing 1-1 draw away at Brentford in their previous league match before cruising past Wigan Athletic 4-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The game against Wolves saw star player Bukayo Saka start in the number 10 role and gave his team the lead after just five minutes with a header from a Declan Rice cross.
Ecuadorian full-back Piero Hincapie doubled Arsenal’s lead in the 56th minute before Wolves found their way back with a Hugo Bueno penalty in the 61st minute and a 94th minute strike from substitute Tom Edozie.
