Arsenal missed the chance to move further away from Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners were held to a 2-2 draw with Wolves in the top flight at Molineux on Wednesday night.
Mikel Arteta’s side had a 2-0 lead over Wolves thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie, and Arsenal looked set to take the vital three points.
Hugo Bueno scored for the home side, but Tom Edsi equalized in stoppage time and Arsenal had to secure a draw on their trip to the West Midlands to seal the points.
As a result, Arsenal remain at the top of the Premier League with a five-point difference, while City remain in second place with one less game to play.

City’s game this weekend is against Crystal Palace, but the date for that fixture is yet to be confirmed, meaning Pep Guardiola’s side will be sidelined for the time being.
If City win that game, they will move two points clear of Arsenal and welcome the Gunners to the Etihad Stadium in the second half of the season.
Arsenal and City both took time off from top-flight duties last week to play in the FA Cup fourth round, and will return to Premier League action this weekend.
But the race for the Premier League title resumes this weekend, with several important games to come in the coming weeks.
As the title race continues, Mirror Sport presents a list of upcoming Premier League fixtures between Arsenal and Manchester City.
