It was obvious that the Wolves players had taken exception to the way that Arsenal had celebrated their 1-0 win over their European qualification rivals on Thursday night. This is exactly what club captain Conor Coady believes is the case. The England international explained that he and his teammates will travel to London to try and ‘put it right.’
Conor Coady said: “We’ve seen them, we heard them. We’ve obviously seen the whole thing, I know Ruben has obviously spoken out after it. They celebrated quite hard, didn’t they?. It probably obviously shows how big the game was to them, and to us – it was big to us as well. Listen, we spoke about it all week, we prepared right, we made sure we were ready and I actually thought we played quite well if I’m being honest. We had the ball, we created different things, but listen Arsenal are a top side. So, we’ve seen the celebrations, I’ll be honest with you, from our point of view, we really didn’t like them. It’s something where we’ve got two weeks’ time now to try and put it right going back to the Emirates and try and put on a good game again.”
Arsenal celebrated a victory earned after going down to ten men against a very good Wolverhampton Wanderers side. Bruno Lage’s club could have gone above Arsenal in the table had they won. However, ironically, the Gunners’ players actions might help their top-four ambitions.
