Why Unai Emery should be praised after United win

Pundits have hailed Arsenal manager Unai Emery for being flexible in his tactics which ensured the sweet win by his team in the Premier League tie against Man United on Sunday evening.

Arguably, this is the third biggest win by the Spanish manager since he took over the reins of the club at the beginning of the season. The wins against fellow London sides Tottenham and Chelsea will not be forgotten in a hurry.

It would be recalled that the last time Arsenal played the Red Devils, it ended in a 2-0 win against the Unai Emery side in the FA Cup but the Sunday result reveals that a good job has been done by the manager to prove that his side has improved and he has learned a lot from the past.

Analysis of the last game reveals how naive the Arsenal team were against Man United. They were opened and sloppy each time the Red Devils come up with a counter attack, they were well punished for it.

There is no doubt that all of these have been corrected as the North London outfit smartened up and were up against the Red Devils to give a good fight. No wonder, United could not withstand the guts of the Arsenal team.
