Even in a poor display, by their standards, Arsenal found a way to scrap through for a win against a very pesky Wolverhampton Wanderers team at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal beat Wolves 2-1 with the Gunners getting on the score sheet via own goals with the second own goal coming off Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera in the 94th minute.
The win ensures Arsenal maintain their lead atop the standings heading to the Christmas period but the team’s performance didn’t impress manager Mikel Arteta who said to the BC after the game,
“It was a roller coaster. The longer the game went on, they had hope and we had to accelerate our game and take more risks. Then we have periods so three minutes deep, so passive, really poor defensive habits not acceptable for our level.”
“We did find a way and that’s a very positive thing, if not we’d be very frustrated and rightly so…but that’s it – win the game and go on.”
Arsenal play Everton next on Saturday, December 20 at 20:00 GMT.
