Arsenal hero Martin Keown slammed David Luiz and Bernd Leno for their role in last night's defeat to Wolves.

Writing for the Daily Mail, Keown stated: "At Molineux on Tuesday night, David Luiz made a mistake, then Bernd Leno made a very costly miscalculation in the 72nd minute.

"You might be able to snatch something with 10 men, but nine crushes your chances and left Mikel Arteta on a hiding to nothing.

"Leno took a risk by rushing out of his box — the speedy Adama Traore's presence perhaps made him uncomfortable — and he played volleyball instead of football.

"With nine men from then on, Arsenal's formation became 4-4-0. The job of the two banks of four was to stop Wolves making matters worse.

"Arsenal wanted to keep it at 2-1 in the hope one chance would fall their way late on. Having said that, they could have done with going for it more in the final few minutes.

"This was a horrible night for Arteta and one of huge frustration after Arsenal's seven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League."
