Martin Keown says Arsenal have improved defensively without losing any of their attacking creativity

Arsenal have been impressive since manager Unai Emery took over ahead of the 2018-19 English Premier League campaign.

The Gunners have lost just two of their opening 12 games this term, winning seven and drawing the three others.

Arsenal have scored 26 goals – three more than Liverpool – but they have shipped 15 – the same as struggling Newcastle United.

Nevertheless, the north London giants are playing better and looking more dangerous under Emery than they were during the last days of former boss Arsene Wenger.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has been impressed by what he has seen thus far, and he believes the team is gradually rediscovering a defensive structure that was lacking prior to Emery’s arrival.
