By the end, it was all too much for Mikel Arteta. Arsenal’s sodden manager was as frosty as the temperature at Molineux after watching his side bungle a 2–0 lead against the Premier League’s worst team on Wednesday evening.
Arteta had been gripped by a red mist long before Riccardo Calafiori chaotically, objectively comedically, diverted the ball off the post and into his own net to give Wolverhampton Wanderers a much-deserved point. By the time he had towelled off to come into the post-match press conference, he was in no mood to defend his players.
