After a setback six days ago, Arsenal have missed an opportunity to get back on track in the Premier League title race as they were held to a draw by bottom side Wolves. The Gunners, who dropped points against Brentford last week, looked on course to pick up an important three points as they led 2-0 on the hour mark thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie.
However, Wolves fought back. Hugo Bueno halved the deficit with a superb curling finish before Tom Edozie, on his debut, equalised in stoppage time thus stopping Mikel Arteta's from opening up a seven point lead at the summit before Manchester City are next in action.
The home side, meanwhile, are on course to avoid the humiliation of having the lowest points tally in Premier League history and can ensure that unwanted record across a single season stays with Derby by picking up at least two more points from their remaining fixtures.

Somehow Arsenal find themselves going into the last few minutes with this still not comfortable. Title race is stressful enough without making a meal of the team with one Premier League win all season.
