David Wagner: 'Arsenal proved they are a top-class team'

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 30 November 2017

Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner claims that Arsenal showed why they are a "top-class side" by running away with victory in the second half of Wednesday's clash.

Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner has heaped praise on Arsenal following his side's 5-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Terriers were blown away by three goals in the space of four second-half minutes, having kept things tight in the first half.

Wagner admits that there can be no complaints over the manner of the loss, however, as "top-class" Arsenal turned on the style to win for a 12th Premier League game in a row.

"First of all we have to congratulate Arsenal on this win. In the best period we had after half time, when it was 1-0, they scored three goals in four minutes," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"After this, they showed what a top-class side they are and I think it was a deserved win for them. It's a top-class team and we've learned something today.

"If we want to put teams under pressure, we have to score, especially with these great opportunities that we had. In the situation when it was 1-0, we didn't take them and they have shown us what it means to be clinical, and what it means to take chances."

Huddersfield have now failed to score in seven away games in a row in all competitions - their longest-ever run.
