Arsenal 2-3 Crystal Palace: Unai Emery refuses to criticise Shkodran Mustafi despite horror show
Unai Emery defended Shkodran Mustafi following the centre-backs mistake during Arsenals 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace.The Gunners top-four hopes were dealt a serious blow after goals from Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha and James McArthur sealed a memorable win for the Eagles.Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang led the hosts’ fightback, but the match hinged on a moment of madness from Mustafi, who inexcusably allowed Zaha to latch onto a seemingly-harmless ball and put Palace 2-1 up.It was the latest in a string of Mustafi errors which have cost the Gunners this season, but Emery refused to criticise the German.Mustafi was responsible for Palace’s crucial second goal1

Im going to protect every player because they worked and tried to do their best possible, he told talkSPORT.I think we can speak about them all generally and not focus on individual issues.The Arsenal boss admitted his team missed a big opportunity to climb into third and seize control of the top four on an Easter weekend which also saw Tottenham and Manchester United slip up. However, he remains positive about their chances of qualifying for next seasons Champions League.Its a big frustration but we have more reason to be proud of the team, Emery added.It gives us less opportunity to be in the top four but it continues to be in our hands. We have the advantage in the table.We won a lot of opportunities before. Today we lost this opportunity but we need to keep the same motivation and be positive.
