Arsenal boss Unai Emery says they need to be patient with their young midfield after defeat at Manchester City.

Emery admits City proved themselves a class apart as Sergio Aguero hit a hat-trick.

But he also says, "They showed their superiority at the end of the match. We lost some duels. We have some young players who are playing their first year in the Premier League and they can improve a lot.

"I'm very happy with Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira's performances today, but they also need time to improve and to take confidence, to take experience for their future here. With the result, it's not easy to say that, but there are some positives that we can look at from our players today."
