“We started the match very poor but we reacted well, we had chances and opportunities to score," said Emery.
"The players fought until the last minute. Of course it is hard to lose, but we have to accept it.
"We made two mistakes early in each half and it is difficult to come back. We have to be stronger defensively away if we want to get to be one of the top seven teams in the Premier League.
"I learn when we are winning, I learn when we draw and I learn when we are losing.
"It is one year since I arrived here. We have progressed, done a lot of work and I am proud of the players, but I want more. To increase the level is the next challenge I have."
