There will be plenty of talk about Gabriel Jesus shoving Yerson Mosquera over and hardly any talk about what Mosquera did to the Brazilian that left him on the ground, what he said to make Gabby J pop up, nor Mosquera grabbing his face and writhing after being shoved in the chest.

How long after Leandro Trossard got smashed in the jaw did Wolves score? Was he back on the pitch and back into his spot in the defensive shape?

Not that Arsenal were likely to score, but Paul Tierney 100% blew the whistle early.
Didn't get close to adding the time back that Leandro Trossard spent on the ground after he was assaulted.

Fulltime. 2-2. That's a disastrous result.

Eze hacked down on the edge of the box. Nothing called.

I'm furious. That should have been a straight red card or at least a second yellow. Wolves should be down a man.
Instead, they score an equalizer.

Wolves equalize. Gabriel and David Raya take the ball away from each other.

He looked to see where he was and then smashed him from the blindside up high.
That's trash. Garbage team.
Hope you get relegated from the Championship, too.

VAR that. Give him a red.
That's a shoulder to the chest and the chin off the ball.
Violent. Intending to injure an opponent. That's not fucking football.

Gabriel Martinelli doesn't have anything left in the tank.
Mikel Arteta needs to put on any warm body for him.

Viktor Gyokeres hasn't gotten the call that just went against Martin Zubimendi all season.
Every single defender marking him does it nearly ever single time.

Hey, so I think that should be a yellow card to the Wolves player.
You can't smash into an opponent's head like that, accidental or not.

Was that a miskick from Leandro Trossard or did he just try to chip Jose Sa from 40 yards out?

But Leandro Trossard replaces Bukayo Saka, who is walking off on his own and seems to be moving alright.

Looks like he's alright.
Bukayo Saka is getting treatment.

Gabriel Martinelli can't convert a great chance. Wouldn't have mattered because he was just offside anyway.

Why is that not a foul for that sliding challenge through Gabriel Martinelli after he crossed that ball?

Gabriel Jesus replaces Viktor Gyokeres. Ebere Eze replaces Noni Madueke.

I mean. You can see Noni Madueke's shirt nearly come off his body as the defender grabs it and him to shove him off the ball.
Shocking officiating.

It's pretty ridiculous. These players literally will not score another goal like these in their entire careers.
I don't like this thing where guys take like the best shot of their life against Arsenal specifically

If this goal stands, that linesman should be taken off matches for this weekend.
An incorrect flag, that late? Horrid.
