Arsenal Top Premier League but Face Squad Rotation Scrutiny After Wolves DrawFebruary 21, 2026 6:30 AM Full SummaryThe Gunners lead the Premier League with 58 points from 27 games, yet a late collapse in the 2-2 draw highlighted fatigue in Zubimendi (2,265 minutes) and Timber (2,182 minutes), who top outfield minutes.

Arteta insisted the players look great and selections follow condition data, but fans called it stubborn amid a packed schedule including Sunday's North London derby at Tottenham. Key TakeawayArsenal blew a two-goal lead at Wolves, leaving fans worried about overworked stars Martin Zubimendi and Jurrien Timber running on empty. Context & EntitiesTopics

Arsenal Drops Points in Late 2-2 Draw at Wolves as Fans Blast MartinelliFebruary 19, 2026 1:29 AM Full SummaryBukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal. Martinelli assisted the opener and had chances, yet drew ire for heavy touches, poor passes, and no further impact, with fans calling his play stagnant and lacking killer instinct. The draw cuts Arsenal's lead over Manchester City to five points ahead of the North London derby, as Declan Rice showed his fury by ripping off his shirt at full time. Key TakeawayArsenal raced to a 2-0 lead at Molineux, only for a second-half meltdown to hand Wolves a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time. Fans turned their frustration squarely on Gabriel Martinelli's shaky display. Context & EntitiesTopics
