Henrikh Mkhitaryan came off the bench to salvage a point for Arsenal as they extended their unbeaten run against a Wolverhampton Wanderers side who were deserving of victory.
The visitors, whose 29-year wait for a win away to the Gunners goes on, looked set to end a three-game losing streak thanks to Ivan Cavaleiro’s opener.
But Unai Emery‘s side have shown desire when behind and have now taken nine points from losing positions in the Premier League this season as Mkhitaryan’s cross-cum-shot evaded everyone to earn Arsenal a point from a 1-1 draw just four minutes from full-time.
Another slow start could easily have cost the hosts dear – with Cardiff the only other side in the top-flight yet to hold a half-time lead this season.
Wolves played their part and will feel they should have wrapped up a win of their own, Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno on hand to make a number of key saves from the visitors, who rattled the woodwork in the closing stages through Morgan Gibbs-White.
