Emery proud of Arsenal victory

The win secured their path to the semi-final of the Europa League, but there are worries over the future of Aaron Ramsey who suffered an injury.

Emery said: "I am proud of the players. We started very well. The first half was good because after we scored we continued not to give them opportunities. We defended well second half. In the two matches we can be happy to win against Napoli."

Arsenal meet Valenca in the semis, and Emery was circumspect over their chances: "They are a very good team with goods players. It will be a difficult match for us."

Speaking about Ramsey’s injury, the manager said, "It is a muscular injury. Normally it will be some weeks out for him. But we have other players and we can find a performance and rotate players."

Emery said: "I don't know".when quizzed about Ramsey’s chances of playing again for Arsenal.

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny told BT Sport: "We came here with ambition and wanted to win and score some goals. We did it with Laca. We keep a clean sheet, which is important for the confidence. Each game we have in front of us is a final. Tomorrow we switch back to the Premier League.

"We know Napoli played in the Champions League this season. They are a good team. We did the job at home. Today we knew if we scored they needed four. We fight to defend and suffer together."
