How did this team qualify for this stage?

They drew with Chelsea earlier this season as well

 

[Swango1980]

Garbage by Pope I think. He looked to stand as narrow as possible, and then looked to fall asleep as shot was struck, and remained a narrow statue

 

[Bazz]

Lot of positives to take from that half...first one being it's 45mins closer to the end of the season.

Hell of a finish from Bueno for Wolves. They’ve not been bad tonight they just look lacking in their final product and keeper looks terrible. But they’ve definitely competed tonight and looking dangerous again.

 

[PaulMdj]

That’s a red card for me, ball nowhere near and purposely hit Trossard!

 

[Swango1980]

Interesting

 

[Lord Tyrion]

That's quite funny. They've made an absolute Horlicks there.

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Well that’s made the title race interesting! Woeful goalkeeping from Raya, Arsenal have looked terrible tonight, wide players refusing to put the ball in the box! Is this the start of the bottle job!!

Wolves player lucky to be in the pitch for that challenge on Trossard though didn’t even attempt to play the ball.

Much better 2nd half from Wolves, deserve something out of the match.

Back in City's hands (along with Arsenal)

I’ve only watched the 2nd half and I’d say from what I’ve seen Wolves been the better side, had Sa been stronger with that Hincapie shot would be a decent 2-1 win.

 

[Bazz]

Respectfully I think us getting 12 points is the more important thing here.

 

[Swango1980]

Jesus probably lucky not to get a red

I think the quick 1st goal knocked them back a bit and they didn’t do much, 2nd half especially after getting one back they had some belief.

That's the bottle of the season so far. Two up, cruising and to not see that out is shocking. Brentford was bad but tonight is on a whole different level.

Arteta has now needlessly piled on the pressure before the NLD.

 

[Swango1980]

It was probably the rains fault

 

[venger]

Jesus probably lucky not to get a red

If that had been Romero, people would want him banned for life

I was genuinely wondering what would have happened had he done that with some of the game left to go. Would VAR have been made to have a closer look, whereas they were happier to just let the yellow stands as the game was over?

I’m tempted to say that var would have sent him off but in reality var would have recommended the wolves player to be booked for diving.

I’d of given them both a yellow, Jesus for barging in with his chest and the Wolves player for going down holding his face.

Saying that, as VAR ignored Trossard being fouled then no chance of them going after Jesus.
