Wolves fans turn on Rob Edwards after his comments immediately after Arsenal draw

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Rob Edwards has been criticised after comments made on the back of his side's draw against Arsenal.

On Wednesday night, Arsenal arrived at the Molineux looking to go seven points clear of Manchester City by winning against the bottom side, Wolves.

The Gunners were off to the perfect start as Bukayo Saka netted inside five minutes to make it 1-0.

In the second half, defender Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 with a fine finish, putting Mikel Arteta's men in firm control.

Hugo Bueno then scored in the 61st minute to set up a potential grandstand finish.

Deep into stoppage time, Tom Edozie's shot went into the back of the Arsenal net via a deflection off Riccardo Calafiori, earning Wolves a dramatic 2-2 draw.

As a result, Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League now stands at five points, having played one more match than City. Meanwhile, Wolves moved onto 10 points.

Speaking after the match, Wolves boss Edwards admitted that he wanted more support from his own fans.

He said to Sky Sports: "I just hope everyone has a bit of realism and understands what we're up against as well. We're not just going to turn up and roll Arsenal over, so it was never going to be easy, especially when you go 1-0 down early on.

"So yeah, we would've probably liked more backing at that point if I'm being honest, the way we finished, the energy was around, and it was a brilliant feeling."

Reacting to Edwards' comment, one fan said: "Hopefully Rob Edwards is getting sacked in the morning!!! Calling out the fans in his Sky interview - get out you clown!!!"

Another tweeted: "£800-900 for a season ticket this season to see one win and Rob Edwards is coming out giving fans stick. Absolute stinker of an interview."

A third fan added: "Oh Rob Edwards just called out the Wolves fans...I think they should be more behind the players at times too, but you can't be saying it in the way he said it."

Someone else wrote: "Rob Edwards, I'll be honest, mate. You're lucky any f****r is turning up at all."

A fifth commented: "We've paid £800 to watch a team scrape 10 points by March and Rob Edwards has the cheek to dig us out for not backing the team. Just get this arrogant clown gone, a legend in his own head."

Looking ahead, Wolves are back in action this weekend when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon.
