Arsenal scored three great goals however was made to perspire in a brazen completion as they beat Watford 3-2 to go fourth in the Premier League.

 

Martin Odegaard's smooth opener was counteracted by Cucho Hernandez's bike kick yet magnificent completions from Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli saw the Gunners to a fourth consecutive association win, notwithstanding Moussa Sissoko giving Watford any desire for rescuing a point with a late strike.

They move into the main four for now at any rate, with Manchester United in real life later on Sunday in the derby against Manchester City.

 

Mikel Arteta named an unaltered beginning XI, with Emile Smith Rowe expected to get back to the crew after a stomach bug postponed by a positive Covid test. Maybe the guests had gone behind inside 20 seconds when Emmanuel Dennis opened past Aaron Ramsdale yet the offside banner acted the hero and they before long benefited as much as possible from the respite with a fifth-minute opener. Saka and Odegaard traded passes out wide, the previous breaking into space and intelligently pulling back for the Norwegian to guide low into the base corner for his fifth objective of the period.

 

The Hornets hit back quickly, be that as it may, as Hernandez created a shocking aerobatic finish from Kiko Femenia's cross to even out the scores.

 

Watford partook in a short period in the authority however the energy swung as Arsenal retook the lead through the splendid Saka, who squeezed the ball from Tom Cleverley prior to crashing past Ben Foster from Alexandre Lacazette's lay-off.

 

The third goal on the opposite side of half-time was maybe the pick of a fantastic bundle, a speedy toss in from Saka beginning a quick move that saw Cedric Soares and Odegaard required before Lacazette again made the help, this time laying into the way of Martinelli, who completed similarly as insistently as Saka had.

 

Substitute Eddie Nketiah hit the post with what might have been a cherry on top before Sissoko packaged past Ben White and terminated through Ramsdale to leave Arsenal holding tight for a critical three places.
