Alexandre Lacazette’s 82nd minute equaliser against Liverpool at the Emirates yesterday won an Arsenal a well deserved point in the 1-1 draw with Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The Gunners were trailing to a James Milner strike, before the Frenchman leveled things with a fantastic curling effort, and on the day it was no less than the team deserved.
How we got on against one of the best teams in the league was always going to be a measure of how we’re faring under Unai Emery, and Lacazette believes the performance and result shows that Arsenal are good enough to combat.
“The first big game we lost, but we knew if we worked as we’ve done for 13 games, we could get some points,” he said.
“Today we saw we have the quality to play at the top of the league. I think the point is enough for both teams.
“It was a good game, we worked a lot. I think everyone enjoyed it.”
Teammate Alex Iwobi believes a lot of that is down the manager and the how demanding he is of the players.
“You can see from each player we’re giving shift in work and the intensity,” said the Nigerian international.
“You can see the coach demands a lot, not just in matches but in training, and the results show on the pitch.”
