Arsenal’s eight-match unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end in a 2-1 defeat against Wolves as they were reduced to 9 men at the Molineux Stadium.
The result came on the back of a wonder goal from Joao Moutinho and the controversial dismissal of David Luiz at the stroke of half-time.
However, former Arsenal academy graduate Emmanuel Frimpong has taken aim at Mikel Arteta for his decision to substitute Alexandre Lacazette at half-time. He tweeted:
Frimpong won multiple trophies with the Arsenal’s youth side and made 6 senior league appearances at the club before moving to various British clubs on loan. He is now known to be an avid Arsenal fan who is very vocal about his opinions on social media.
Mikel Arteta claims ‘really, really frustrating’ red card decision changed the game for Arsenal
A highly dominant Arsenal performance against Wolves turned on its head following David Luiz’s sending-off, which led to Ruben Neves’ equaliser from the penalty spot.
Mikel Arteta vehemently disagreed with this decision as he took stock of his team’s result against Wolves. He said after the game:
The Arsenal manager also claimed that he is ready to appeal David Luiz’s red card but will have to consult the club’s legal team before doing so.
The Spaniard further claimed that Arsenal could have put the game to bed before the penalty.
Arsenal will next face Aston Villa this weekend as they look to turn their fortunes around in the Premier League.
