Arsenal manager Unai Emery has singled out Alex Iwobi and Maitland-Niles for praise in his side 5-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday reports Completesportsnigeria.com.<\/p>\n

Iwobi completed his first 90 minutes in December and also provided an assist for Nile\u2019s 11th minute opener in the defeat.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s goal sparked the hosts into life, as they took the lead within five minutes, through a Roberto Firmino brace.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Sadio Mane connected with Mohammed Salah\u2019s touch-down to make it 3-1, before Salah converted from the spot in added time of the first half.<\/p>\n

Firmino rounded off scoring in the 65th minute from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were some positives, Ainsley played as right winger and scored. Iwobi, after some matches not playing very well, he played 90minutes with a good performance,\u201d Emery told reporters after the game.<\/p>\n

The Spanish manager whose side is without a win in his last three games also blamed his defence for the defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut defensively we need to be stronger, to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur defensive moments in our box, it\u2019s my responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
