Arsenal boss Emery tells Iwobi: Calm down

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has told Alex Iwobi not to get anxious in games.

Iwobi volleyed home to open the scoring for Arsenal against Huddersfield with his fourth goal of the season and the Nigerian forward also has six assists.

Emery is delighted with Iwobi's progress and feels that at 22 he can only get better.

“He's young," said the Gunners boss. “He has a big commitment. He has a very good physical condition.

“He needs to improve, tactically maybe also, some things. Above all he needs to be calm with the ball in the attacking third to have more assists and create more possibilities to score, to know when to shoot and when to dribble.

"He had also the chance to assist Alexandre Lacazette, but I think his performance today, starting with his attitude, was very good. And the performance overall was good."
