Arsenal had dominated the match, but a late own goal from Calafiori and a Tom Edozie strike denied them the win.
Arsenal took the lead early, with Bukayo Saka heading home Declan Rice’s delivery. The Gunners continued to press, but Wolves’ goalkeeper Jose Sa made some impressive saves to keep them in the game.
Wolves struggled to create chances as they pushed for an equalizer and Arsenal struck again with Piero Hincapie hammering home his first goal for the club.
Just as it seemed Arsenal had the game wrapped up, Hugo Bueno curled a stunning goal into the top corner to reignite the contest. The hosts pushed for a winner, and a late mix-up between David Raya and Gabriel gifted Tom Edozie the chance to score a dramatic equalizer.
Edozie’s ferocious low drive was deflected off the line and into the bottom corner, sparking wild celebrations at Molineux. For Arsenal, it’s a huge opportunity missed, and confidence will take a hit ahead of Sunday’s North London derby.
A point won’t change much for Wolves, who are likely to be relegated, but tonight was a rare high point in their dismal campaign. For Arsenal, the focus now shifts to the derby and trying to bounce back from this setback.
The Gunners’ lead at the top of the table is now vulnerable, and Manchester City will be looking to capitalize on this result.
