Unai Emery was full of praise for Matteo Guendouzi after Sunday's 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa.

Guendouzi marshalled the Gunners midfield, showing an attitude and maturity beyond his 21 years.

Speaking after the game, Emery said he was pleased with Guendouzi's "anger".

He said: "With Matteo, last year when he came here he progressed and he is progressing. Really I like that spirit he has, he has talent but above all his attitude, his energy, his commitment and his behaviour.

"He's one player who is angry when he is not playing but I like that.

"I like that player because when they are angry they are asking you to play, when you decide that they play today they know they have a commitment to give what you need and he is one player, he is improving.

"I want to be calm with him, he is humble and continuing improving and growing up with us."
