Arsenal boss highlights Aaron Ramsey importance after Fulham win

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has reiterated the importance of Aaron Ramsey to the team following the convincing 5-1 Premier League triumph over Fulham.

The Wales international only featured from the bench during the game but he made it count during the second half with an assist and a sublime goal which came off some brilliant team work.

Speaking after the game, Emery highlighted that Ramsey remains a very important member of the squad, he said: "For me it’s very important for him to take in confidence and take the first goal today. He’s a very important player."

With the derby win, the Gunners have now picked up nine successive wins for the first time in nearly three years and they are assured a top-four spot heading into the international break.

Meanwhile, the partnership of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has flourished since the season started and the pair have scored four goals each in the current league campaign.
