Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle: Unai Emery expects top-four race to go down to the wire
Arsenal boss Unai Emery insists his side cannot relax after seizing the initiative in the race for the top four with a 2-0 win over Newcastle on Monday night.The Gunners catapulted Tottenham and Manchester United, moving from fifth to third, after Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette sealed the convincing win at the Emirates.2

Emery knows Arsenal still face a tough battle for Champions league qualification

With seven games remaining, Arsenal have a favourable run-in, with none of the top six left to play.However, only three points separate them from sixth-place Chelsea, and Emery highlights the fact they must travel away from home five times.We know its going to be very difficult because we know Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea will win a lot of matches. It will demand a lot from us,” he told talkSPORT. We will play five matches away and its a challenge. We are hot here [at the Emeriates] but we need to be confident and consistent away from home as well.We need to take points in difficult away matches like on Sunday against Everton.Meanwhile, Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez told talkSPORT his team couldve defended better, despite coming up against an impressive Gunners side on the night.2

Benitez rued the ‘avoidable’ Arsenal goals

Ramsey drifted into the box unmarked to slot home the first, before the Magpies failed to oppose Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Lacazette as they combined for the second.He said: “They are a good team and we knew it would be tough. We were doing what we had to do for a while, we were strong enough in defence to keep control in defence.“We concede a goal which we could avoid and after we were on the counter-attack, we had two or three chances where we close with the final pass.”
