Arsenal lost 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League to leave Emery’s future at the club in doubt.
The Gunners took the lead shortly before half-time through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
But, Daichi Kamada brought the visitors level in the 55th minute.
The equaliser appeared to shellshock Arsenal, who eventually contended a second goal less than 10 minutes later.
Emery was already under pressure heading into the Europa League tie, with some claiming that it was a must-win game for the manager.

“My future is today and tomorrow,” said the Gunners boss.
“Each moment in my career is difficult. It’s a very good job, but it’s very hard.
“When you are winning, you feel the support from everybody, but when you're not winning like in the last matches, you have some doubters.”
Arsenal now face a trip to Norwich City in the Premier League on Sunday (2pm), knowing that a defeat could see them drop further down the table, if other results go against them.
