Arsenal do NOT have a discipline problem under Mikel Arteta despite suffering their FIFTEENTH red card under Spaniard with Gabriel Martinelli's dismissal at Wolves, insists former striker Ian Wright

There is no discipline issue at Arsenal despite the club suffering their 15th red card under Mikel Arteta in their win at Wolves, according to Ian Wright.

The Gunners moved up to fifth in the Premier League table with a 1-0 win at Molineux thanks to centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes' third goal of the current league campaign.

But namesake Martinelli was shown a bizarre red card - the first of his professional career - for two bookable offences in the same passage of play in the second half.

In an astonishing five seconds, the 20-year-old tried to stop Wolves from taking a quick throw-in and pushed over Daniel Podence before haring back up the pitch in pursuit of Chiquinho, who he also sent tumbling.
