London's Arsenal coach Unai Emery enjoyed the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium and said that step by step his team can compete again with the leaders of the Premier League.
In Saturday's match, Alexandre Lacazette scored a crucial goal in the 82nd minute, which prevented the Liverpool club from taking a victory from London. Arsenal is currently undefeated in 13 consecutive matches.
Liverpool is a team that shows intensity and has top-level players, so today we considered it a really important test," Emery said after the match.
"We still need to work a lot, especially on tactical preparation. However, I liked the atmosphere created by the fans and players, who showed their dedication. It was a great performance for both the fans and ourselves.
I think progress will come with time. It is very difficult to ask for time in football, but we really need it. The match today against Liverpool and those at the start of the season against Man City and Chelsea are examples. Our performance and the game itself were clearly better.
Comparing all three matches, it seems to me that against Liverpool we were a team that showed it can compete," the strategist added.
