The Spaniard and his side saw more disappointment as they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by fierce rivals Tottenham, but bounced back to beat Burnley 3-1, but felt a Christmas hangover with a 1-1 draw away to Brighton.

Emery's side were thrashed 5-1 by Liverpool at Anfield on a disappointing evening for the Gunners.

Off the field, majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has taken full control of the club, buying Alisher Usmanov’s 30% stake of the club.
