Mikel Arteta was FURIOUS — and what he said about TWO Wolves players after the match has everyone TALKING…

Mikel Arteta admitted his frustration after were held to a dramatic draw by , insisting his side must “control emotions better” as the title race intensifies.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, the Arsenal boss reflected on a contest that swung dramatically and ultimately left the Gunners dropping valuable points.

Arteta acknowledged that while his team showed character at key moments, their inability to manage certain phases of the game proved costly.

“We had moments of real control,” he said. “But in this league, if you lose focus for even a few minutes, you get punished. Wolves are very well organised, very aggressive in transitions, and they made it difficult.”

The Spaniard pointed to defensive lapses and missed opportunities as decisive factors, admitting Arsenal lacked the clinical edge required to secure all three points.

He praised his players’ effort but stressed that competing for major honours demands consistency over 90 minutes.

Arteta was also asked about the heated exchanges late in the match, including the clash involving forward Gabriel Jesus. While refusing to be drawn into controversy, he emphasised the need for composure.

“Emotion is part of football,” he said. “But we have to channel it in the right way. Especially in these moments of the season, discipline and clarity are vital.”

Despite the setback, Arteta remained defiant about Arsenal’s ambitions. With the title race finely balanced, he insisted there is still belief within the squad.

“There’s a long way to go. We are fighting, we are competing, and we have shown many times what we are capable of. Now it’s about responding in the right way.”

Attention now turns to Arsenal’s next fixture, where Arteta expects a strong reaction from his players as they aim to keep pace at the top of the table.
