Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley feels Arsenal manager Unai Emery is not afraid to take tough decisions, after the Gunners’ 4-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The Gunners were 2-1 down at half time, but stormed back to score three second-half goals to beat their rivals at the Emirates.




Arsenal’s form in the second half of games this season has been stunning as the north London outfit have scored 24 times in the second half, more than league leaders Manchester City.

Burley pointed out that Emery has had a big impact at Arsenal because he is not afraid to make big decisions.
 


“He’s a guy who has had success in Spain and some success at PSG”, Burley said on ESPN FC.

“He knows what he is doing, he knows the way wants to play.

“He’s not frightened to make big decisions. He has dropped [Mesut] Ozil before.

“He made a change at half time and freshened it up at half time.”

Emery changed the Arsenal set-up at half time and Spurs could not cope with the Gunners in the second half.

The Spaniard's side will next travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Wednesday and will hope to keep their 12-game unbeaten run in the Premier League intact.
