Emery Speaks On Pepe’s Missed Chance Against Sheffield United

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, while speaking on his side’s 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United on Monday night, noted that Nicolas Pepe‘s missed chance in the first half was key to the Gunners defeat.

The North London side was defeated at Bramall Lane, with Lys Mousset scoring a 30th-minute winner.

The winger should have put Arsenal in front after moving pass a begging chance and Emery admitted it was a turning point in the game.

Emery noted that with Sheffield scoring the first goal it was difficult for Arsenal to score because defensively they are a very strong team.

“Pepe is improving but the next step for him is to score.

“Usually, he is going to score chances like that but tonight, he didn’t take his chance,” Emery told Sky Sports.
