Emery oversees Arsenal's worst start to Premier League season in 26 years

Unai Emery has overseen Arsenal’s worst start to a Premier League season in 26 years.

The Spaniard was handed the reins at Emirates Stadium over the summer after being chosen as the man to succeed Arsene Wenger.

After 22 years of continuity in north London, it was always going to take time for a new era to take shape.

A testing fixture release did little to aid Emery’s cause in a new post, with Arsenal opening with a visit from reigning Premier League champions Manchester City and a trip to Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola’s side proved too strong on the opening weekend, with questions asked of Arsenal on the back of a 2-0 defeat .
