Unai Emery praises Arsenal midfield duo after Liverpool draw

Unai Emery has praised Arsenal midfield duo Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira after Liverpool 1-1 draw at the Emirates. James Milner put the Reds ahead before Alexandre Lacazette snatched a point for Arsenal with a superb goal. And now when Arsenal have maintained a 14-game unbeaten run Emery admits that his side is worth a praise, especially midfield duo Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira. ‘I want, with each player to continue and hope we can do better,’ said Emery. ‘With Xhaka I am happy, because first he’s a very good player, and he has a very good commitment for us. ‘He wants to improve, and I think he can improve. We want to continue with him to give him the time to improve.’ He added: ‘Every player works a lot, and it’s very important for our balance that we have two midfielders like Xhaka and Torreira, because the balance in midfield is also important for our balance in defence and our balance offensively. ‘They’re important tactically and also their commitment and their work, running a lot.’
