Arsenal solidified their position at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 victory over Wolves. Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were the goalscorers, securing three crucial points for the Gunners.
However, there was a downside for Arsenal towards the end of the game when Oleksandr Zinchenko made a costly mistake, allowing Matheus Cunha to score and reduce the deficit. Mikel Arteta addressed the situation, stating, “You have to love Zinchenko for who he is. He has strengths and weaknesses. Mistakes can happen to any player. Arsenal must learn from it.”
Arteta further emphasized, “In those areas of the pitch, you should not play around with the ball, especially after what happened in the preceding moments. Arsenal will improve.”
Saka’s goal marked Arsenal’s 100th goal in the calendar year 2023. According to statistics, a total of 21 different players have contributed to Arsenal’s 100 goals.
The victory against Wolves temporarily extended Arsenal’s lead over Manchester City by four points in the league standings. Arsenal’s win against Wolves was a significant step in their pursuit of the Premier League title, but they must remain focused and continue improving to maintain their position at the top.
