Unai Emery explains why losing 5-1 to Liverpool was ‘good’ for Arsenal

Despite Arsenal’s disappointing 5-1 defeat against Liverpool, Unai Emery is believes there’s one positive point to take from the match. Roberto Firmino opened the scoring for Liverpool after Arsenal’s opener and then Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah doubled the advantage before the break and Firmino completed the rout with a second half penalty. Arsenal head coach believes believes the performance of Klopp’s side gave his burgeoning squad an indication of just how far they need to improve. He told BT Sport: “Three years ago we [Sevilla] played against Liverpool in the Champions League and now last year they played in the final of the Champions League. “They are an example for us. We need also to be demanding of our-self but also we need time. We need to do this progress doing a step every day. Today this loss is good. Not a good result. But good to know how to do this step in our process for our future. We have a very important match on Tuesday – we have to show we can recover and show a good performance.”
