Europa League: Unai Emery heaps praises on two Arsenal players after 4-2 win against Valencia

 

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has singled out two of his players for special praise after their 4-2 win over Valencia on Thursday.

The Spaniard heaped praises on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and strike partner Alexandre Lacazette, describing them as “amazing.”

Goals from the two strikers steered the Gunners to a Europa League final date with rivals Chelsea.

Having led 3-1 from the first-leg, Emery’s side were favourites to advance and Aubameyang’s hat-trick eased them into the final as they won 4-2 on the night and secured a 7-3 aggregate success.

French star, Lacazette also got his name on the scoresheet to ensure the pair have scored all of Arsenal’s last eight Europa League goals between them.

“I am proud of them,” Emery replied when asked about the impact of Aubameyang and Lacazette during his post-match press conference.

“Big players can be good strikers but when their commitment is like today, defensively also, to work to help us, it is amazing.”
