Riccardo Calafiori’s stoppage-time own goal handed Wolves a dramatic 2-2 draw with Arsenal after coming back from two goals down and plunging the Gunners’ Premier League title hopes into further doubt.

Following their draw with Brentford, the Gunners were unable to cling on to three points in wintery conditions over Rob Edwards’s battling side who claimed another point in their unlikely survival bid.

Bukayo Saka celebrated his new five-year deal with the club in style with his fifth goal of the season as Mikel Arteta’s choice to play him in the number-10 role immediately paid dividends as he gave Arsenal an early lead.

It looked like three points were heading back to north London when Piero Hincapie doubled the league leaders’ advantage with his first goal for the club, but Huge Bueno produced a moment of magic to reduce the deficit.

Wolves though had the final say as Tom Edozie’s effort from the edge of the box deflected off Calafiori beyond David Raya and Arsenal missed the chance to extend their advantage over Manchester City to seven points.
