Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes suffered a
huge blow with a shock home defeat against
Watford at Emirates Stadium.
Former Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul
lashed in the opener within 10 minutes for
Watford with a shot from outside the area which
deflected off Aaron Ramsey.
Just two minutes and 57 seconds later, the
visitors doubled their lead as Troy Deeney
tapped in after Etienne Capoue’s fine run ended
with his shot being saved by Petr Cech.
The Arsenal goalkeeper was called into action
again as he tipped Sebastian Prodl’s header
over the crossbar and pushed away Daryl
Janmaat’s curling strike.
The hosts improved significantly in the second
half and Alex Iwobi pulled a goal back by
steering Alexis Sanchez’s cross home.
Lucas Perez struck the crossbar with a powerful
drive, but they could not find the equaliser.
