Football news - Alexandre Lacazette lauds Unai Emery after Arsenal's derby win

The Arsenal forward was on the scoresheet in the fiery encounter and has thrived of late playing for the Gunners.

The Frenchman lauded his boss, Emery, and told radio network RMC that the 4-2 victory 'belongs to him'.

"We can see on the bench his [Emery's] enthusiasm, it pushes us," he told the radio station.

Emery, in turn, hailed the superb performances from his players in the crucial win.

"This was a very big victory, we give our supporters this victory because it's a special match for them," he said.

"Now I am thinking about the match on Wednesday in Manchester.

"It's special as well for us, but it's three points - like in Bournemouth last weekend and like Wednesday in Manchester. Now we are enjoying it but Tottenham lost today and they are still with 30 points in the table like us.

"We need to continue in our process. Today, for our confidence was a big match. But we don't forget last week they were winning against Chelsea and today they were losing against us.

"So Wednesday is a good example for us, we need to think about the match on Wednesday."
