Arsenal legend Martin Keown insists the Gunners are missing an “important” player as he urges them to use the draw to Wolves as “oxygen” for their title push.

The Gunners put themselves in a good position to beat the Championship-bound outfit by going two goals up through Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie.

But Wolves struck back through a wonderful curled effort from Hugo Bueno for his first Premier League goal before a mix-up between David Raya and Gabriel Magalhaes allowed Tom Edozie to score a deflected strike at goal.

And Keown has told Arsenalto “get back up again” after giving second-placed Man City the chance on Saturday to close the gap at the top of the Premier League to two points.

Keown said on Premier League Productions: “I?can’t?say I?didn’t?see it [Wolves’ equaliser] coming because it?didn’t?look comfortable for Arsenal.

“It just felt like we were hoping we could win it rather than going and grabbing it. This will be a lesson for the group.

“It’s?not over for Arsenal but they must ensure this?isn’t?the?beginning of the end?of their quest to become champions and use it as oxygen.

“They had?a great opportunity?to go further clear?tonight?but they?didn’t?have the?conviction?to finish the game off.

“It’s?been a bad night but?there’s?so long left of the season. You get knocked down, you get back up again,?that’s?the life of a professional footballer.

“Arsenal?need?to turn it around?but even if they had won?tonight?it?wouldn’t?have been over and?it’s?certainly not over now?they’ve?drawn.

“The key is how they react now because they?can’t?keep going ahead and getting pegged back.”

Arsenal attacker Kai Havertz recently returned from injury, getting two goals and two assists in his first six matches back, before picking up another injury.

And Keown thinks Arsenal are missing the Germany international, he?added: “I would like to see Kai Havertz back,?he’s?becoming?maybe all?too important because?he’s?been injured again.

“That’s?not his fault but?it’s?been painful. You need to get people back?because?it hurts the group. You need that match-winner, someone who gives everyone belief?and puts the game out of sight.”

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta said after the draw at Molineux: “We’re very disappointed with the end result, but I think we have to fault ourselves.

“I think the performance in the second half doesn’t show the level and the standards required in the Premier League to win in the manner that we should have won the game, especially in the way that we played in the first half.

“It’s very tough, we are frustrated because it’s down to us. It’s time to talk on the pitch because anything that we say right now comes from anger, frustration, disappointment, and there’s nothing coming through that is going to benefit and help the team going forward.

“It’s nothing to do with attitude or with desire. There were a lot of things that went wrong in the second half that didn’t allow us to have any dominance, even though we scored the second goal. We never felt that we were in control of the game.”
