Some appreciated Unai Emery's appointment while others were apprehensive about what he would bring to Arsenal in the years to come.

Emery is known for his tactical brilliance and game reading skills. He has won three consecutive Europa League titles with Sevilla, and the League 1 with Paris Saint-Germain.

His life at Arsenal began with back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and Chelsea. But since then, the team have been on a dream run, stretching the unbeaten run to 19 games.

Emery had collected only one point from the top six before this game, and looked to change the record.

The match started as Emery would have wanted, but soon the Spurs took the lead before the halftime. However, two masterful substitutions at halftime completely turned the game on its head.

First Aubameyang brought the Gunners level and then Lacaztte gave them the lead, before Torreira ensured all three points in the first London derby for Emery.
