Emery also said: "Yes (the players are heroes tonight), I'm proud of the players and supporters, who came here to be with us. We showed we can play matches against good teams with a big personality.

"With a big atmosphere here, we started very well. We didn't consider the possibility of failing. I don't know if it's the best performance under my management but it's good to be carrying on in our way."
