Emery blames Arsenal injury, claims ‘tonight wasn’t our moment’

-

Arsenal boss Unai Emery admitted Arsenal “didn’t do enough” and that “tonight wasn’t our moment” as they gave up the lead to lose 2-1 at home to Frankfurt, and were again booed from the Emirates pitch by the home fans.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave them the lead at the end of a decent first half for the hosts, but two goals in quick succession from Daichi Kamada saw Frankfurt condemn Arsenal to a seventh game without a win to pile more pressure on under-fire boss Emery.

The Spaniard was pleased with the first half display and blamed an injury to Skhodran Mustafi for a second half in which they “lost control”.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery: “Tonight wasn’t our moment but we won a lot of matches to be top of the group. Our aim is to win away to Standard Liege to finish as first. We want to do that to build our confidence and connect with the supporters. We need to win and we lost a very good opportunity. We didn’t do enough to win this match.

“We lost our control of the game for 15 minutes of the second half, and they scored two goals. Then we had injuries, and Mustafi going off meant I wasn’t able to make changes. We were better in the first half but in those 15, 20 minutes we lost control.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Shake Milton—yes, Shake Milton, with a little help from Joel Embiid—saved Philadelphia’s season. Embiid had 40 points and 13 rebounds and Milton buried a 32-footer and scored 14 points in an electrifying stretch off the bench to lead the 76ers past the Hawks 118-102 in Game 2 on Tuesday night and even the Eastern Conference semifinal. Game 3 is Friday in Atlanta. Milton was a sixth man who then lost his spot in the rotation and scored only 17 points over spotty action in six playoff games this season. Coach Doc Rivers kept the faith and Shake rattled the Hawks and helped the Sixers roll to a 14-0 run that blew the game open and sent a packed house into a frenzy. Milton did not play in the first half but buried a long-distance 3 at the horn to send the Sixers into the fourth quarter with a 91-84 lead. He kept...
