Arsenal's Night of Drama: Keown Says the Title Race Hung on a Late Wolves Win

Turning Point and Late Drama

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown argued that Arsenal's title bid hinged on their Saturday night 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton, a result that kept them in the chase.

Arsenal looked on course to drop points when Wolves, bottom of the table, equalized in the 90th minute through Tolu Arokodari at the Emirates.

Own Goals and Reversals

The drama featured an early own goal that put Arsenal ahead when Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone scuffed into his own net, and a second own goal by Yerson Mosquera extended Arsenal's lead before Arokodari struck late to restore tension.

Arsenal's rivals tried to flip the script, while the home crowd clung to every decision as the clock ticked down.

Keown stressed that Arsenal's title bid has been under pressure and that the world — and some fans — were hoping to see them stumble.

He added that the title race felt suspended by this match, given the surrounding chatter and expectations around Arsenal.

Owen Hargreaves, speaking later, said it was a massive win for Arsenal, noting they found a way to win despite limited chances, while Wolves impressed with a reshaped display.

Wolves were described as exceptional, and while Arsenal were not at their best, the result would please their supporters.
