Arsenal’s hopes of staying comfortably ahead in the Premier League took a hit following a dramatic 2-2 draw at Wolves.
While Bukayo Saka found the net, the night ended in gloom as a late collapse left the Gunners reeling and experts questioning the team's confidence.
Arsenal were in total control until the 60th minute, but a 94th-minute own goal by Riccardo Calafiori (after a mix-up between Raya and Gabriel) handed Wolves a point.
The stand-in captain called for the team to "fix these issues immediately," noting that they have lost the momentum that made them so dangerous earlier in the year.
Instead of defending his players, Arteta admitted they lacked dominance and control. This "honest but flat" interview has sparked fears that the manager is losing his usual spark.
Paul Merson warned that for the first time, Arteta didn't look "majorly positive," worrying that this draw against a bottom-table side could be a turning point for the worse.
