Arteta: Arsenal 'have to blame ourselves' after Wolves draw

Mikel Arteta admitted Arsenal 'have to blame ourselves' after they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw at Wolves. A 94th-minute equaliser cost the Premier League leaders two points as they allowed their rock-bottom opponents back into the game, further calling into question their title credentials.

Arsenal are five points clear of Manchester City but have played a game more. The Gunners looked on their way to victory after goals from Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapié, only to be pegged back by Hugo Bueno and Tom Edozie. Arteta said he was 'extremely disappointed, obviously, with the result, with the way the game ended, but we have to blame ourselves.

I think the performance in the second half didn’t show anything close to the standards that are required in this league to win, and with the margins that I think should have existed today, especially in the manner that we played the first half.
