O’Neil slams Arsenal

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil was furious with Arsenal’s “timewasting” during the closing stages of Saturday’s game. He told beIN Sport: “I just thought Arsenal took ages over the restarts at the end. I was told we were going to 98 because there was a long stoppage in added time but they had three restarts and they took 45 seconds with each.JAMB Portal
