Arsenal's Premier League title ambitions suffered a significant setback as they squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with bottom side Wolves at Molineux. The Gunners had appeared in control after a dominant first half, but a second-half collapse saw Wolves equalise in the 94th minute, leaving Mikel Arteta's side with just two points from their last two games.
The result drew sharp criticism from prominent Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, who accused the team of 'choking again'. Morgan posted on social media: 'We're choking. Again.' His comments echoed frustrations among supporters, with one fan stating: 'One thing about Arsenal? We will prove the haters right every single time.'
Arteta accepted responsibility for the performance, saying: 'Extremely disappointed... we have to blame ourselves. The performance in the second half didn't show anything close to the standards required in this league.' He added that the team must 'swallow that frustration' and move on quickly, with a north London derby against Tottenham approaching.
The draw allows Manchester City to close the gap to within two points if they win their game in hand, a scenario that has raised concerns about Arsenal's ability to sustain a title challenge. The club has finished second in each of the past three seasons, having previously surrendered leads on two occasions.
Arsenal's next match is away to Tottenham on Sunday, where they will look to regain momentum against their struggling rivals under new manager Igor Tudor.
