Arsenal player ratings from Wolves horror show as Bernd Leno and co. go missing

Diogo Jota put the icing on the cake for Wolves as they battered Arsenal 3-1 at the Molineux on Wednesday.

Gunners boss Unai Emery was looking for a response from his players following their home defeat by Crystal Palace.

But Arsenal's top four hopes are in tatters after their ninth defeat of the season.

Ruben Neves kick-started the rout with a stunning free-kick before Matt Doherty doubled Wolves' advantage.

Jota made it three on the turn of half time to kill off Arsenal before a ball was even kicked after the break, despite Sokratis Papastathopoulos' late consolation.

Here's how our man James Nursey rated the performances.
