Unai Emery, the boss of Arsenal, has just said in the first four places, on the outside and his antics

How important was it to return to the conquest of the world?

This win was very important, points and to be closer to the top four. And our goal is this one, knowing that we must above all take the regularity at home and elsewhere.

Today, this victory can give us confidence, the opportunity to pursue our goal in the Premier League.

You looked very unhappy on the sideline in the first half

I am very happy. We worked very well. Each player struggles and works too, helping each other. I am very proud of our work.

I wanted more each time. We needed more than two goals difference between them and us in the first period.

This is not enough, if they had scored a goal, we could have fought more. My ambition is that I want them to continue with the mindset of the first goal, without giving up the options and positions.

I know it's easier on the bench than on the ground. But today, the players have worked well.

Is the top four realistic when Manchester United is doing so well?

Day 26? We are now at a point of Manchester United. If we ask if it is easy or difficult, it is difficult.

But we can and day 26 we are on our way. Our motivation is very great and each player wants to fight every game and be consistent for 38 games.

We are getting closer to other clubs.

Does it concern you that you have conceded another goal on the outside?

Yes, but we won. The blank sheet is important, but it's all about winning. You can take a blank sheet and draw only.

We had already talked in the locker room with the team, mostly won, after taking individual targets. The first is to score one more goal than them and after a blank goal.

Each player worked well and the last action, unfortunately for us, was scored. Maybe they deserved it?

Are you worried that your emotions on the sideline could have a negative impact on them?

I am here … it's my personality. If I'm here, it's because in my career, I'm progressing like that.

If for a moment I can think that it's negative, I'm not going to work.
