Arsenal boss Unai Emery has insisted that his side need to improve their tactical approach to close the gap between themselves and Manchester City.
The Spaniard took charge of his first competitive game for the Gunners on Sunday against the defending champions and found his side lacking as they suffered a 2-0 defeat.
But the former Paris Saint-Germain boss, who took over from the long-serving Arsene Wenger in the summer, drew positives from the experience.
“We were improving during the 90 minutes like I think we need for next week and the next match,” he insisted.
