Arsenal’s attacking midfield displayed some trademark Arsenal characteristics with their play, breaking Watford down with ease over and over again and managing twelve shots on target .
The wide attacking players in particular combined with forward Danny Welbeck excellently. That attacking speed has been missing in a lot of games in this recent winter period, due to injuries to Welbeck, Alexis Sanchez, and Santi Cazorla.(Not to mention, poor form from Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott, and Olivier Giroud – who doesn’t provide much attacking speed when he is in the game).
Alex Iwobi was given another start by Arsene Wenger after the young Nigerian’s successful efforts to trouble Everton’s defense last time out.
Iwobi controlled the Hornets’ defensive third with Alexis Sanchez on the opposite flank. Not only did he finish off a chance that was provided for him by Sanchez, who cut in from the wing and took two defenders out of the game, but he also hit the crossbar with a curling effort that had Hurelho Gomes beaten completely.
Anyway, here are the player ratings.
