#1 Unai Emery outclassed Pochettino with his tactics
Questions were asked on Unai Emery's team selection for such an important game as he dropped Aubameyang, Torreira, Ozil, Kolasinac and Niles. However, he answered his critics with a clinically balanced performance throughout the game.
Arsenal looked lethal on counters, as they have been trained to play the ball in quick transitions. Unai Emery's plans were clear. He wanted an early goal and he got it through Ramsey. The game could have ended in a 1-0 win for Arsenal but Mustafi had different plans. He conceded a blatant penalty by literally pushing Kane in the back, and the English man scored, as he very often does.
With a vital away game against Rennes coming up in the Europa League as well, Unai Emery knew what he had to do. His team selection was spot on, as we clearly saw why he chose Monreal over Kolasinac and Mustafi over Niles. Arsenal needed the defensive cover tonight. Unfortunately, they could not win the three points.
