Arsenal's Unai Emery on Petr Cech errors vs. Cardiff: He is doing what we want

Published on: 02 September 2018

Arsenal's Unai Emery feels his side must work harder to cut out errors that cost them to concede two goals in their win over Cardiff. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette both score as Arsenal had to beat back Cardiff City twice to claim all three points.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery says he wants the club's defence to continue to build from the back, despite several errors against Cardiff City.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech looked especially uncomfortable as he made two errors in distribution while under pressure in the 3-2 win.

But Emery backed his goalkeeper to continue and improve.

"He has experience. He is intelligent. He is doing what we want," Emery said. "It's very important for me to continue doing this and to keep improving.

"We take a little risk, but when you break this risk and their pressing you can find space. We need to continue with this personality."

Mesut Ozil returned to the starting lineup after missing last weekend's win over West Ham through illness and Emery had praise for the No. 10 as well.

"Ozil with his quality, I think we need him to give us his moments in the match," he said. "I think today in the second half he played a good match; he worked every minute he was on the pitch. Maybe in the second half with his position on the pitch I think he feels better."
