Arsenal 2-0 Watford match review
Arsenal defeat Watford despite lacklustre performance as they claim a flattering 2-0 victory An own goal from Craig Cathcart and a slick finish from Mesut Ozil gave Arsenal an unconvincing seventh straight victory for Unai Emery. Watford's confidence has not been shaken since their perfect start to the campaign was ended by a draw and a defeat from their last two games, and they pressed Arsenal from the off at the Emirates. But they could have been behind within five minutes, when Christian Kabasele's aggressive challenge in the box caught Alexandre Lacazette. The forward tried to stay upright but stumbled over a second later - and it was enough for referee Anthony Taylor to wave for a goal kick, despite it being evident there was contact. Watford failed to to take advantage, with midfielder Will Hughes failing to make Arsenal pay when he planted a volley wide from the edge of the box minutes later, when he should have found the target given the time he had to shoot.
