Arsenal boss Unai Emery SNUBS Pep Guardiola after Man City victory
ARSENAL boss Unai Emery failed to shake Pep Guardiola’s hand after the Gunners were beaten 2-0 by Man City.
Unai Emery: We had chances to get a better result
At the final whistle, footage showed Guardiola celebrating with his backroom team with Emery nearby.
But before Guardiola had finished hugging his staff, Emery had made his way down the tunnel.
Arsenal were convincingly beaten by the Premier League champions but ex-Chelsea striker Chris Sutton believes it’s too early to judge them.
He said: “Let's not judge Arsenal on this performance against the best team in the land.
“I think they have shown grit, resolve and desire but I have been disappointed with them in the final third.
"City have laid down their marker on the Premier League with this performance.
"People could dismiss it as same old Arsenal which would be unfair in Unai Emery's first game.
"You have to say it though, they were outclassed in every department today.
"City could have won by many more had they been more ruthless.
"Pep Guardiola has been in the City hotseat for two years - this was Emery's first game and it will take a while for him to change things.
"It was good to see that the mentality of the supporters has changed though. Full stadium, optimism in the stands as there should be."
