Unai Emery: No Regrets in Taking Mesut Ozil off for Arsenal in Brighton Draw

Arsenal boss Unai Emery said he does not regret substituting Mesut Ozil in the Gunners' 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday.

The Spaniard took the German off at half-time for Alex Iwobi at the Amex Stadium despite Jurgen Locadia cancelling out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's opener before the break.

Per Football.London's Charles Watts, when asked if he regretted taking off the playmaker, Emery said: "No. It was only tactically. We did before, in other matches also change the idea from the first half with other players. And today I did it with Mesut, that is only tactically, not another problem.
