'Perfect' Pepe earns Arsenal boss Emery's praise

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has described Nicolas Pepe's effort in the Gunners 3-2 comeback victory over Vitoria Guimaraes in the Europa League as "perfect".

Defeat was staring the North London club in the face after their Portuguese opponents led 2-1 at half-time.

Pepe was then brought on with 15 minutes left to play, and scored two stunning free-kicks at the death to take all the three points and maintain Arsenal’s spotless run in Europe's second tier this season.
