Lys Mousset's first half goal of the match was the only difference that separated the two sides, with the Frenchman capitalising on Arsenal's defensive blunder to find the back of the net.
Arsenal fans would later take to social media to launch a scathing attack on Emery, with some asserting the team has witnessed a massive decline under the Spaniard.

However, in a move aimed at salvaging his image, Emery has defended the Gunners' recent performances, insisting the club is in far better shape than they were 18 months ago when he replaced Arsene Wenger.
“We need to remember what things were like when I arrived here because some people seem to have forgotten," he said.

“This team in its history won many times 1-0 and was very competitive — but that wasn’t enough for some supporters. So then they changed the process and they improved the creativity and when I arrived here that aspect was more or less good," he continued.
The 47-year-old further took time to defend his tactics and squad selection, urging club supporters to stay patient in his rebuilding process.
