Gunners boss left with mixed feelings

Boss Unai Emery insists there remains room for improvement from his Arsenal players despite their comfortable 4-2 Europa League home win against Vorskla Potalva last night.

The Gunners raced into a four-goal lead as a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang double, a Danny Welbeck header and a tap-in from substitute Mesut Ozil set them up for a big win.

But Vorskla rallied and halved the arrears as Volodymyr Chesnakov pulled one back before Vyacheslav Sharpar scored with the final kick of the evening in the opening Group E tie.

Emery made eight changes from the weekend win at Newcastle as goalkeeper Bernd Leno was handed his debut.

The Spaniard also gave fellow summer signings Stephan Lichtsteiner and Lucas Torreira their first starts but, despite marking his first European game in charge of Arsenal with a win, he was left with some frustration.

“It’s our disappointment today,” he said of the two goals. “Little by little we are conceding a few chances to the opposition, the same like in Newcastle.

“But we need to continue to improve on this because in the last minute in Newcastle and again today in the last 20 minutes, we conceded two goals.”

A solitary goal from Willian gave Chelsea a 1-0 Europa League win against PAOK Salonika.

The Brazilian winger tucked in a pass from Ross Barkley after seven minutes to get the Blues’ European campaign up and running in Greece.
