Arsenal are one point below fourth-place Manchester United with two matches in hand. And the manner of this victory will swell belief that they can surge into the top four in the closing stages of the season. Wolves don’t give up leads easily so Arsenal had to work hard – with determination and ideas – until the dying minutes, and that’s what they did. The atmosphere around the ground among players an fans suggests Arsenal believe they are on their way back.
Arteta’s reaction
“It was an important win for us. The way we won it creates such a belief and togetherness and an atmosphere and cohesion with our fans aswell and that’s extremely necessary. This is a really young squad and we need that.
After three defeats in the first three games we had to avoid relegation. That was the first aim. Then we took it game by game … you just have to be consistent with your vision and the way you prepare and believe the result will come.”
Lacazette’s reaction
“It’s amazing to win this kind of game in the last minute. We wanted to win today because we know it’s important. After conceding the first goal it was a hard game but we didn’t give up: that is good for the team. We had a difficult January but I think we are coming back better in February and we want to continue until the end of the season.”
