Arsenal stumble to a 2-2 draw at Molineux

Arsenal missed a chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League, drawing 2-2 at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday at Molineux.

The result leaves Arsenal temporarily 58 points clear, five ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.

Wolves' position improves slightly to 10 points from 32 games, still near the relegation zone.

Saka opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 5th minute, and Piero Hincapié added a second for the visitors in the 56th.

Hugo Bueno López pulled Wolves back in the 61st, then Ricardo Calafiori turned the ball into his own net in the 94th.

Arsenal's wait for a league title continues, while Wolves fight to stay up.

Punchline 1: Arsenal's lead evaporated faster than a magician’s scarf—Abracadabra, it vanished at Molineux.

Punchline 2: Wolves prove that late drama is their cardio—94th-minute sprint, and a point for the road.
