Emery happy as Arsenal return to winning ways despite wobbles in Fulham victory

Arsenal manager Unai Emery felt his side were deserving of their 4-1 victory against Fulham, despite enduring some nervy moments in the New Year's Day win at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners gave a fine response to their hefty 5-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool on Saturday, with the win closing the gap on fourth-place Chelsea to two points in the Premier League.

They did however struggle to nullify their visitors throughout though, with Ryan Sessegnon missing two excellent opportunities before Granit Xhaka opened the scoring in the 25th minute.
