Home rule is the key
LEANDRO TROSSARD insists Arsenal should win all their home games as they look to avoid the draws that derailed their title hopes last season.
Only two own goals by winless Wolves – the second in stoppage-time – prevented the Gunners from dropping points at the Emirates for just the second time this season.
Only Everton drew more games than Arsenal’s 14 last season, with seven of those at home as they ended the season 10 points behind champions Liverpool.
Trossard admitted: “At the end the feeling is relief that we scored that winning goal. It is massive to win the game.
“The atmosphere would have been different if the game had ended in a draw.
“At the Emirates we should win every game, with the home support and the way we play.
“Not every game is easy but that is how we should approach it.”
The Gunners were aided by man- of- the- match Bukayo Saka being rested for the Champions League win at Club Brugge in midweek.
The England winger had a hand in both goals, with his in-swinging corner hitting the far post and the ball going in off the back of keeper Sam Johnstone.
And his stoppage-time cross was diverted into his own net by Yerson Mosquera to hand Arsenal victory af t er Tolu Arokodare’s first Premier League goal on 90 minutes looked to have snatched Wolves a point.
Trossard added: “We all know how many options we have. If you can rotate, players are more fresh and that is key with this busy run of fixtures.
“Now we have a week where we can reset and focus on the next game.”
