Arsenal stumbled once again in the Premier League, dropping points in injury time against Wolves at Molineux.
It was an abysmal ending to yet another lacklustre performance from Arsenal, who dropped two points in the dying embers against bottom-of-the-table Wolves.
Wolves have a history of causing upsets, and they certainly did it at Molineux, on a night when several Arsenal players stood out for the right and wrong reasons.
Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres, Piero Hincapie, David Raya, Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Martinelli were among Arsenal’s winners and losers against Wolves.

Who was Arsenal’s worst player vs Wolves?
Winners
Bukayo Saka
The obvious winner from the game was Saka, who was Arsenal’s brightest spark.
Aside from scoring in the fifth minute, the 24-year-old made his presence in midfield known, winning 11 duels and completing all five of his attempted dribbles.
Piero Hincapie
The other winner was Arsenal’s other goalscorer, Hincapie, who, similarly to Saka, was busy in all areas.
Hincapie showed that he can live up to Riccardo Calafiori’s expectations and score brilliant goals from left-back, in what was a top performance from the Ecuadorian.
Losers
Eberechi Eze
Despite the playmaker getting sufficient minutes against Wolves, there are worries about Eze’s role amid Saka’s rise in midfield.
Arteta’s desire to start Saka in the number 10 role spells bad news for the summer signing, who is battling rising competition.
Eze had the chance to win the game after Wolves’ equaliser, but his effort flew well wide, which reflected his lack of confidence right now.
If you were Eberechi Eze, how would you feel after seeing Bukayo Saka start in the number 10 role?
Gabriel Martinelli
Martinelli is scoring freely in the cup competitions, but when it comes to the Premier League, he just can’t do it.
The Brazilian offered nothing on the left flank, looking like a player opposite to the one we usually see come from the bench.
Viktor Gyokeres
Like Martinelli, Gyokeres was a passenger at Molineux.
The striker is not a difference-maker for Arsenal, consistently failing to arrive in the box when he is expected to.
Gyokeres ended his night with no shots on goal, seeing him replaced in the 65th minute.
David Raya
Every Arsenal fan will be asking themselves, ‘What was Raya thinking?’
With the best defence in the Premier League in front of him, it would be thought that Raya would trust his teammates to clear the ball, but he didn’t, and collided with Gabriel Magalhaes to see the ball run loose.
Wolves’ equaliser came from the mishap, in what was a dreadful mistake from Raya.
