Ian Wright is unhappy with an Arsenal player's performance following their win against Wolves.

After Arsenal's impressive victory over Wolves, former striker Ian Wright had some criticism for young player Gabriel Martinelli. Wright believed that Martinelli's "desperation to do well" came at the expense of the team's success. Under the guidance of coach Mikel Arteta, Arsenal had a strong start to the new Premier League season, with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka securing a 2-0 win. As a team that has come close to winning the Premier League in recent years, Arsenal is determined to finally break Manchester City's dominance and take home the trophy for the first time since 2004.

However, despite being ahead at halftime, Wright was disappointed that Arsenal wasn't leading by a larger margin. He pointed out a missed opportunity in the first half when Martinelli chose to shoot rather than pass to teammate Declan Rice, who was in a better position to score. Wright believed that Martinelli's decision was influenced by his desire to impress the manager and secure a spot in the starting lineup, especially with competition from Leandro Trossard. "He [Martinelli] had a poor season last year, so he's trying to prove himself to the manager," Wright stated on Premier League Productions.

While Arsenal didn't play their best game against Wolves, Arteta was pleased with their performance, calling it a "job well done." He acknowledged that the first game of the season is always challenging, especially against a tough opponent. However, the team managed to score two goals and keep a clean sheet, which Arteta saw as a victory in any context. He also recognized that there will be better and worse days, and the team must be prepared to adapt to the opponent's style of play.

When asked about Arsenal's goal of winning the Premier League title, Arteta emphasized the importance of the team's determination and consistency. "Whether we're going to do it or not, we'll have to show it every day in how we play and the results we achieve," he stated. Arsenal's next match is against Aston Villa, a strong team that finished fourth in the Premier League last season. Arteta knows that it will be a tough game, but he believes in his team's ability to perform and achieve their goals.
