Unai Emery felt Arsenal controlled the majority of the game as they beat Huddersfield 2-1 in the Premier League.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery was left relieved after his side ended a run of three away league defeats with a 2-1 win at Huddersfield.

The Gunners were still far from their best against their hosts, who came into the game on a run of 11 Premier League defeats from 12 but pushed them all the way.

Emery was still keen to focus on the positives of his side's win, telling Sky Sports: "Their coach said yesterday they need to run a lot, and we spoke in the season that we need to show everybody we want these three points, and run like they are running and also more.

Highlights from Arsenal's 2-1 win over Huddersfield in the Premier League.

"We struggled every minute of the 90 minutes, and I think we controlled the match - but maybe I want more possession. It's a good result after a lot of matches not winning away."

The win moves Arsenal back within a point of the top four for 24 hours at least, with Chelsea visiting Manchester City on Renault Super Sunday.

Emery added: "I think today every player worked a lot, we continued our way and we know it's difficult because the other teams in the top four are very strong.
