Arsenal gave up a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Wolves at Molineux.
Arsenal fans have been left furious after they conceded two second-half goals to draw 2-2 against Wolves at Molineux.
Mikel Arteta's side could have gone seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with a win in the west Midlands.
And they looked set to do exactly that after going 2-0 ahead, with Bukayo Saka's fifth-minute finish from close erange giving them the advantage inside five minutes.
Piero Hincapie doubled the advantage on 56 minutes after a VAR offside check was cleared.
But Wolves, who are bottom of the Premier League and had scored just nine points prior to Wednesday, hit back through Hugo Bueno's stunning long-distance strike on 61 minutes.
And the comeback was completed in stoppage time when debutant Tom Edozie's strike ricocheted off Riccardo Calafiori, hit the post and then struck the Arsenal defender again before crossing the line.
And Gunners fans are convinced that one person - manager Mikel Arteta - is to blame.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Arteta doesn't have the mentality of winning the Premier League for Arsenal."
A second said: "Arteta has put the league back in City's hands."
A third stated: "Last season when Arteta altered his tactics to safe plays and control, it was obvious there was a problem with it. You can't go over the line if you keep playing safe. He lost the league."
Since the Spaniard's stewardship began in 2019, Arteta has taken Arsenal from Champions League qualification contenders to regular Premier League title contenders.

Despite their recent run of poor form, the Gunners are still top of the Premier League table by five points - second-placed City do have a game in hand - and they remain on course to win their first top division title since 2004.
There have been question marks in recent weeks over Arsenal's cautious style of play and their reliance on set pieces.
The Gunners rank fourth for open play goals this season with 29, though that figure is 13 behind City's total for the 2025/26 campaign.
