Arsenal goalkeeper Leno: We were lucky; Emery did very good job

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno admits they were lucky to escape Norwich City with their 2-2 draw on Sunday.

And it could have been different had Leno not made fine saves to deny Kenny McLean and Teemu Pukki in the second half.

Leno told the official club website: "At the end it was confusing because in the first half we played exactly how we wanted but conceded two goals in transition. In the second half, we lost control of the game and we were lucky to draw.

"It's always strange and sad when a manager loses his job. I think (Unai) Emery did a very good job for one-and-a-half years, but the club decided to change the manager and something in the team.

"We just have to look forward and we saw the team was different (against Norwich)."
