Dec 14 : Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta let rip at his players following their 2-1 Premier League home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, saying their "horrible defensive habits" made the margin of victory narrower than it should have been.

Arsenal took the lead with 20 minutes left via an own goal from Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone, but were given a massive scare when the visitors equalised through Tolu Arokodare in the 90th minute.

Their blushes were spared, however, when Yerson Mosquera headed the ball into his own net in the 94th minute to ensure victory for the league leaders.

"It was a relief (to win), but a very clear understanding that the margin should have been bigger," an irate Arteta told reporters.
