Alexandre Lacazette reveals the true impact Unai Emery has had on Arsenal after replacing Wenger

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette says Arsenal keep on getting better because of the work Unai Emery is putting in with the side.

The Gunners are in the Europa League semi-finals and have the place in the top four in their own hands having recorded more points than they did in Arsene Wenger's final season already.

After two decades at the helm the Frenchman was replaced by Emery last summer and that has seen a number of changes behind the scenes.

From the time training takes place to the content of those sessions, it seems the alterations are paying dividends for the North London side.

Lacazette believes his side are well placed to qualify for Europe's premier competition.

He said: "There's a lot of difference. We work tactically more, we do more video as well, how the coach speaks is different than Wenger. It's different. It's hard to always compare the coaches because they have their own technique to manage the team.

"I think we are better every month, better and better, we are improving.

"It was one of the targets of the coach to concede less goals, even if this season we concede many goals, away as well he wanted us to keep a clean sheet. We did it and he wants us to do it again.

"Everything is in our hands now. If we win every game we go to Champions League - we want to go Champions League so we have to do our best all the games to go there."
