Team is here:

Wolves XI: Sa, Tchatchoua, Mosquera, S Bueno, Krejci, H Bueno, Andre, A Gomes, Bellegarde, Mane, Armstrong.

Subs: Johnstone, Lima, R Gomes, Doherty, Wolfe, Rawlings, J Gomes, Edozie, Arokodare.

Is Armstrong on his own up front? Looks like it, our lads will find trouble locating him?!

If we do get something out of this match it will be a bonus but unlikely.

Arsenal giant, Saka, heads home after a lovely Rice cross, who himself completely and utterly unmarked. Sadly Mane lost Saka

5 minutes gone, 0-1.

Good grief

Angel G is being replaced by Tolu.

This is a game of men and boys so far I’m afraid. Predictable but sad to see. We just can’t pass, retain the ball or defend against pace.

HT 0-1
Our first shot on goal was at 46 minutes.

We were all over the place early on, a gift for Arsenal.

Having said that, Wolves have got stuck in physically and disrupted Arsenal and have battled well, credit where credit is due. The last 15-20 minutes will give us some hope for the second half, however unlikely.

UTW!

Well, 10 minutes into the second half with Wolves the team on top and playing better, an Arsenal goal chalked off for offside is actually a goal from Hincapie. Wolves 0-2 Arsenal.

That’s the difference in the sides. They require one chance, all our approach work and pressure, without the vital pass or shot or movement, we fail to score. Tchachua can’t cross a ball to save his life. These constant Mosquera long throws are rubbish

But then …………… Hugo Bueno with a peach of a 20 yard curler onto the top left hand corner.

Wolves 1-2 Arsenal

It’s the hope that kills you!!!

Rodrigo on for Tchachua. Thank god for that, he’s had a mare tonight

With three minutes to go, Arsenal waste 1 minute by time wasting before taking a corner. They are concerned. Another decent Wolves move comes to nothing.

More Arsenal time wasting as Trssard falls to the floor in dramatic style

6 minutes added time

Nearly 93 on the clock and we haven’t played any football for 4 minutes

What scenes, Edozie scores for Wolves!!!!

2-2 and deserved , you have to give this performance due credit, but not finished yet. No idea how long left with Arsenal time wasting

Quite unbelievable result 2-2.

We were really lacking in an effective from line for long periods but we edged the final 15 minutes of the first half and we’re the better side in the second half. Credit is required for a performance, which whilst wasn’t world beating by any means, it was fully of spirit and effort and we certainly deserved the draw, no question about that. So much so, it was pathetic to see a side such as Arsenal trying to waste so much time at the end. There is no doubt whatsoever that we had them on the ropes and they were twitching and panicing, this after the worst possible start for Wolves.

A great goal by Hugo and an excellent finish from the new lad Edozie, although it’s been given an own goal, which seems mad to me.

A pleasing night for once, and we are in double figures, points wise!!

UTW

I don't share your positivity Ivy. I didn't see the game but we beat United and city at home in the season we finished bottom in 03/04 - ( united were top at the time). A point at home to any team when doomed to relegation when our supposed "stars" will be gone next season anyway is nothing to celebrate. The usual retards on the mix swing from one extreme to another now saying Rob is the man for next season - it's quite pathetic really and when we lose next ( prob next match) it will be back to reading the same old rubbish of fosun out etc etc

By the way, two fine goals tonight, Mane had crucial parts in both as did Hugo.

The Bueno goal was a beaut , and the latest is that the goal has now been awarded to Edozie which on a debut for a 19 year old must be a fantastic feeling. Hugo’s first premier league goal tonight too.

Well at ht I dont think any wolves fan saw that coming 2nd half.
Credit to the team showing that spirit and coming back from 2-0 down and it was fully deserved.
Same old Arsenal time wasting as much as they could and crying like Babies at the end.
Not a win for wolves but it felt like it.
We haven't had much to shout about this season but I enjoyed that comeback tonight.
And well done to the kid Edozie scoring on his debut, I hope the goal isnt taken off him that would be cruel.

We’re down like a stone Angry, and I had no expectation
Of anything but a defeat tonight however I take as many positives as I can and when they crop up, it’s a boost. It was great to put a spanner in the Arsenal works.

All the stuff about Fosun doesn’t change and the player losses yet to come, but the fans getting something to celebrate for turning up week in week out, or those who follow each match as they are able, in this terrible season, they deserve that nugget of cheer, it’s the least they / we deserve. The Molineux crowd know the score this year, but the atmosphere was alive tonight! Good for them.

Credit where credits due. I've been as critical as anyone but that was a great comeback. On the downside, we have to have one don't we, Tchatchoua was awful, but great goal from Hugo. Unbelievably Arsenal were wasting time at the end. Against Wolves. All kicked off at the end but Mosquera, who I actually don't mind, sadly went down holding his face after being pushed in the chest. That being said, only because Arsenal lost their rag. Hope Edozie's goal is given to him as I believe it may go down as an og.

I'd sooner see Arsenal win the league than city. At least the former is a truly big club instead of a shiekh owned circus . I don't give credit to this team for anything, we're one of the worst teams in top flight history and they all deserve stringing up masquerading as footballers as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure many think this is evidence of improvement so make sure you predict a win or a draw vs Palace this weekend if you think this is anything other than the randomness of football surfacing again- all the best with that

Wolves are one of the worst sides in the Premier league and I don't think it's evidence of any kind of improvement We will almost certainly lose the next match and be relegated as the bottom club. We are rubbish and no-one is saying otherwise but we have just come back from two goals down against the top of the table side so credit where it's due. I'll probably be moaning myself after the next match.

I see Arteta is complaining that there was too much intensity from the crowd during the final few minutes and thinks it should be investigated. WTF.
