Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Alexandre Lacazette made up the strong attacking quartet

And it was Saka who thought he had scored the opening goal of the game but his early strike was overturned by VAR for offside.

However, 10 minutes before halftime, former Tottenham defender Danny Rose committed a blatant foul on Alexandre Lacazette and the referee wasted no time to point to the spot.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty was however superbly saved by the impressive Ben Foster. The first half ended 0-0.

But with just 11 minutes into the second half, Smith Rowe gave Arsenal the lead from 18 yards for his fifth goal of the season.

Arsenal's wastefulness and Foster's string of saves set up a nervy finish for the hosts but they held on to claim a big win.

Watford star Juraj Kucka was sent off in the final minutes for two bookable offences.
