Arsenal boss Emery happy with 2-goal Willock

Arsenal boss Unai Emery was pleased with two-goal Joe Willock for their FA Cup win at Blackpool.

Willock scored twice in the first half and Alex Iwobi added a third in the 82nd minute for the 3-0 triumph.

Emery said, "We need every player with the commitment. And with the preparation, when the team needs it, they can help us. The opportunity is coming in some matches like today for example.

"We mixed the experienced players in the squad and in the first 11 with some young players like Willock, like Eddie Nketiah and also Ainsley and I think it's a good combination, because they can show us they are progressing with the team. The most important is with the passions, they work hard and be concentrated when they need to help again today.

"And then, I am very happy with Willock and also with Eddie. Eddie had three good chances to score, but the most important is to create these chances. Willock scored and I think it's good for them and for us."
