Arsenal legend Ian Wright has praised two Gunners players for their contributions in securing a dramatic 2-1 victory against Wolves on Saturday night.

Arsenal appeared to be on the verge of losing two crucial points in the title race when Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare netted a goal in injury time, putting pressure on Mikel Arteta’s team.

However, a late cross from Bukayo Saka was fortuitously redirected into the net by Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera, who was under pressure from Gabriel Jesus.

Wright expressed his appreciation for the roles that Saka and Jesus played, which ultimately led to the own goal by Mosquera. “Great job, guys! That's not an easy feat,” Wright shared with his followers on Instagram after the match. “Winning the league is challenging.”

“Once again, we weren’t at our best, but we managed to secure the three points at home, which is essential for us.”

“What can I say? Well done again, Saka, my friend. You delivered when it mattered. Jesus, it’s wonderful to see your involvement, even if they classify it as an own goal; I don’t mind.”

“We’ve accomplished this three times now, finishing second, and we are determined to push across the finish line. Let’s rally behind the team. Let’s go!”
