EPL: What Unai Emery said after Arsenal's 1-0 win over Newcastle -

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has hailed his side’s 1-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted a second-half winner, as the Gunners got their Premier League season off to a winning start.

Emery’s men kept just one clean sheet away from home all last season in the league. But with their win at Newcastle, they have matched that tally on the opening weekend of the new season.

The Spaniard insists there is more improvement to come from his side, but believes they can take great confidence from the result.

“It’s a very good three points.

“We played a very solid game and controlled the game, but we can improve more because, in the first half, for example, we lost a few balls in the middle and gifted them some chances.

“The second half was quite similar but we scored and that was a very important victory for our confidence because we played with some young players to give them a chance to improve, to give them minutes with us and I think competitive action is important,” Emery told Sky Sports.
