Fortune smiled on the home team, and Watford squandered a series of clear chances before scoring the opener at the wrong end. Javi Gracia's team opened at a ferocious tempo and were the better team for long periods, especially in the second half. Lacazette wasted the clearest chance of the first half, when he dispossessed Cathcart on halfway and sped towards goal. Watford could not take their chances and for a long time nor could Arsenal. Ozil added the second and Arsenal went home happy.
