"In a difficult first-half moment we keep the calm, and we said in the dressing room that we had good moments in the first half.

"It's the reason every match is an important three points. For the supporters it is a special match, and for us to also because we want to give them a special match. I think they connected with the supporters today.

"We watched Tottenham last week at home against Chelsea, a very big performance with their supporters. Here we weren't speaking about that, they are different matches. We could change the performance for us, in a positive, and break the moment for them. It's not easy, but with our supporters, we can do that."

Emery decided to change things up during the half time break by bringing Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey into the fray and the Spanish manager went on to explain why he made the decision.
