Wolves inflict more misery on Arteta’s Arsenal
Wolverhampton Wanderers' Pedro Neto (centre) scores his side's first goal of the game

ARSENAL slumped to a third consecutive Premier League home defeat on Sunday when they were roundly beaten by Wolverhampton Wanderers. The result leaves the Gunners on their worst ever points tally in this competition after 10 matches and head coach Milkel Arteta knows the form of his side must improve quickly. 

“It’s a frustrating night again — losing at home is painful,” Arteta explained ruefully. “It’s no-where near good enough for this football club and we have to change things dramatically.” 

The visitors struck first thanks to Pedro Neto’s 27th-minute opener. Adama Traore bulldozed his way to the by-line before crossing for Leander Dendoncker to head against the crossbar. On his toes, the Portuguese winger reacted quicker than any Arsenal defender, pouncing to score his third goal of the campaign.
