Possession lost 43 times and not a single key pass combined - Wolves' 3 worst players v Arsenal

Wolves trio Max Kilman, Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez struggled in the team’s agonising 2-1 defeat away to Arsenal on Thursday night.

Bruno Lage’s side faced a huge trip to the Emirates Stadium in what had the potential to be a crucial encounter in the top-four battle in the Premier League.

Hwang Hee-chang opened the scoring in the first half but Arsenal turned the game on its head late in the day, with Nicolas Pepe equalising and Jose Sa unluckily scoring a stoppage-time own goal.

The centre-back played no key passes either as he struggled to dictate matters at the heart of the defence.

Jimenez also struggled against the Gunners, as he often found himself isolated with Wolves looking to cling onto their lead.

The striker missed one big chance – a moment which ultimately proved costly – and he only won four out of his 10 ground duels, and five out of 11 aerial duels. He also picked up a late yellow card, lost possession 13 times and failed to record a key pass.

The Portuguese veteran played no accurate crosses out of three attempted and also completed just one out of three long balls, while he
