Unai Emery said he is proud of what his Arsenal squad has achieved so far this season, despite their 3-2 defeat at home to Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Sunday.

After Manchester United were thrashed 4-0 by Everton and Tottenham dropped points at Manchester City, it was a perfect chance for the Gunners to move closer to a top four finish and a Champions League spot.

However, a goal from Christian Benteke, his first in almost a year, opened the scoring for Palace.

Mesut Ozil equalised just after the re-start, only for the visitors to retake the lead through Wilfried Zaha on the hour mark.

James McArthur made it 3-1, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put the hosts back within one.

The victory has ensured another season of Premier League football for Roy Hodgson's side.
