Leno's Wolves performance earns praise from Arsenal legend Wright

Arsenal legend Ian Wight has praised Bernd Leno for his display against Wolves.

The game ended 1-1 at the Emirates but Arsenal could have easily walked away with nothing had it not been for same late heroics from Leno.

"If I'm going to say anything about one individual player it's got to be Leno," Wright said.

"The mistake for the goal came from Xhaka in midfield, giving away the ball away again.

"Those are the mistakes we need to eradicate from our game.

"And then we end up winning a game like this 1-0 with the luck we had and their poor finishing but without Leno we would have lost that game.

"We've dodged a bullet here. We're still on an unbeaten run.

"We were fortunate to get away with the 1-1 but I'll take it."
