The reaction from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after their clash at Wolves on Saturday was lively, as expected, as his side rallied to win late. After going down to 10 players in the first half when Myles Lewis-Skelly was controversially sent off, Arsenal dominated the second half as Joao Gomes was sent off for Wolves.

Mikel Arteta said he was "absolutely fuming" about Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card but praised his Arsenal team's character in a 1-0 win over Wolves.

Arsenal went on to win the game 1-0, with Riccardo Calafiori scoring the only goal in the second half. Asked after the game if Arsenal will appeal, an "absolutely fuming" Mikel Arteta said: "Hopefully we don't need to ... That's for the club to decide what is the best decision. It's that obvious that maybe we don't even need to [put in an appeal].

On the title race: "We're not going to give up. We're going to face any challenge, any situation like we have done today. Whether we win or not, that is a different question. We are going to try 100%, I guarantee we are going to be there."

Skelly's controversial red card in Saturday's 1-0 win away at Wolverhampton Wanderers left manager Mikel Arteta "fuming" while television pundits reacted with shock and surprise at referee Michael Oliver's decision.

Mikel Arteta has said that Arsenal are “actively” looking to identify targets in the January transfer window as he admits the side “ideally need some help”. The Arsenal manager said his opinion on the situation was “clear” after losing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to hamstring and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.

Mikel Arteta believes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are full of confidence again and ready to spark Arsenal’s attack into life. The pair have endured difficult seasons, but both have begun to find form over the past 10 days.

Mikel Arteta lauded Arsenal's resilience after a 1-0 victory over Wolves, achieved despite Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial first-half red card. Riccardo Calafiori's late winner highlighted the Gunners' mental toughness in a match clouded by VAR and officiating debates.
