Arsenal boss Emery hails matchwinner Torreira: Great commitment

Arsenal boss Unai Emery was delighted with matchwinner Lucas Torreira after victory over Huddersfield.

Emery says Torreira deserves his success.

He explained, "Last week he scored and today he scored again. He has quality and his interpretation of the pitch tactically, and his perception in attacking moments and defensive moments [is very good]. He's very fast in his mind and his feet too. He can do very good work in defensive moments and, like today and last week, he can also get into the box and score.

"We want to break every expectation with all players. He's improving and working hard every day with a very big commitment, very good behaviour. He also has the commitment every day to learn English. I meet him every day in the dressing room and the first thing I notice is his commitment, his behaviour, and then he has quality and personality too."
