Unai Emery Says Arsenal Need to Build Their Own 'Identity' After EFL Cup Loss to Tottenham

Arsenal manager Unai Emery was left frustrated by his side's lack of cutting edge in their 2-0 EFL Cup defeat to bitter rivals Tottenham on Wednesday night.

Goals from Son Heung-min and Dele Alli saw Arsenal succumb to their second defeat in a week after previously going on a 22-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

Speaking to Sky Sports (via football365) after the game, Emery explained: "I think we worked like we want, like we prepared. We created chances in the first half to score but our efficiency wasn’t good for us.

"We didn’t concede a lot for them, but they have quality and they scored.
