Arsenal manager Unai Emery insisted he was
“proud” of his players after they were humbled for the third time in a week, losing 3-0 at Leicester on Sunday.
Maitland-Niles was booked for a shove on Ben Chilwell before collecting a second yellow card for a foul on James Maddison at the King Power Stadium.“I don’t agree with the first yellow card,” said Emery. “I don’t think it was a yellow card. “But the first goal has conditioned the result and we were better on the pitch with one player less. But with some corners and some actions on the pitch they scored the second goal and finished the match.”
Emery, however, refused to offer analysis on the nature of the Leicester goals and pointed instead to the red card as the pivotal moment of the game. “But with the second yellow card it gave us a lot of problems to control our gameplan and be efficient. We continued with one player less but knowing it was going to be difficult. That has conditioned the result a lot.”Arsenal face a critical week for their Champions League ambitions with the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday followed by a must-win fixture at Brighton next weekend.
