'Arsenal now closer to Premier League's best' – Emery lauds Gunners after Liverpool draw

The ' result against the league leaders greatly impressed their manager, who also singled out Alex Iwobi for praise

Unai Emery believes Arsenal have showed that they have closed the gap on the Premier League’s best sides with their 1-1 draw against Liverpool.

Alexandre Lacazette earned the Gunners a point at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, cancelling out James Milner's second-half opener to extend the north London outfit’s unbeaten streak to 14 games.

Arsenal’s only previous encounter with current top-four opposition in the league was a pair of clashes against champions Manchester City and rivals Chelsea in August, losing both.
