Unai Emery, Arsenal Head Coach, has assured that Gunners will attack Valencia in the second leg semi-final clash as they bid to reach the Europa League final.


The Gunners travel to Spain next week for the second leg after winning the first leg 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday.

Alexandre Lacazette netted a first-half brace to cancel out Mouctar Diakhaby’s deserved early opener for the visitors, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang adding a third in the final minute.

In a post match press conference, Emery said: “We need to play there thinking to win, thinking to score, thinking to take our moment in attack."

“They are going to feel strong with their supporters there.

“Aubameyang and Lacazette played very well.

"There were moments where we got things right and times when we didn’t, and they could have scored in the second half.”

“I still believe that the tie is in the balance, we know how tough it will be to beat Valencia again. And they will be looking to respond.”
