Unai Emery Bemoans Late Consolation Goals Against FC Vorskla

Unai Emery has warned the players that they must focus for the full 90 minutes after we let in two late consolation goals in our 4-2 win against FC Vorskla.

We’re yet to keep a clean sheet in all competitions this season and while we seemed on course to do just that following a comfortable display for 80 minutes, the hosts were given something to cheer about.

Bernd Leno was handed his first start of the season and while none of the goals were specifically his fault, it certainly won’t help boost his confidence.

After starting the season with two Premier League defeats, we’re now on a run of four consecutive wins in all competitions.

“It was disappointing to see the two goals go in because there was progress in the 90 minutes. We want to do better in this minute,” our head coach told BT Sport after the win.

“When you are 4-0 up you want to continue to be competitive and to score more goals not concede like today.

“For us, it is very important to start this competition with this victory. We are giving chances to many players to find the pieces and for the confidence. We need to because we are going to play a lot of matches. We need players and need to give minutes to players.

“A victory in these situations is the best thing for us. It is good for many players. I want to continue to be competitive in each match.”

We host Everton at home on Sunday, continuing our run of home games in all competitions across the next three games and a clean sheet is certainly needed.
