Kevin Pietersen could not resist rubbing salt into Piers Morgan’s wounds after Arsenal’s dramatic 2-2 draw with Wolves.
The result at Molineux was punctuated by late drama and has sparked fresh criticism of Arsenal’s ability to close out matches at crucial stages of the season, a narrative that Morgan highlighted on social media.
Arsenal had looked in control before a stunning Wolves comeback denied them a chance to earn three points.
Piers Morgan reacts to Arsenal against Wolves
Piers Morgan summed up his frustration after Arsenal again dropped points late in a Premier League game. After all, Morgan on X bluntly criticised Mikel Arteta’s side following the Wolves draw.
“We’re choking. Again,” he tweeted.
The match itself saw Arsenal take the lead early through Bukayo Saka and then double their advantage with a goal from Piero Hincapie.
However, Wolves hit back when Hugo Bueno curled home to make it 2-1, and then newcomer Tom Edozie found the net in stoppage time via a mix-up involving Arsenal’s defence to seal the 2-2 draw.
The dropped points felt particularly costly given Arsenal’s position at the top of the table, as the result kept Manchester City within striking distance in the title race.

With the title race tightening and expectations high, a result like this, and the surrounding reaction, has reignited debate over Arsenal’s mentality when games reach their most intense moments.
