GOAL! Watford 0-2 Arsenal (Aubameyang) Not bad, that Ozil character. Arsenal keep the ball for a while then Watford give him time on the ball, and he picks a glorious ball with the outside of his left foot which plays Maitland-Niles - who's timed his run really well - in down the right. He sidefoots the ball across, and Aubameyang taps home. After 20 decent minutes, Watford are almost beaten after 32.
31'
Ozil, Pepe and Maitland-Niles are looking dangerous down the right and they break immediately, a pass to Pepe slowing up on grass that's apparently been left long to ruin the situation.
30'
But here the come now, Holebas slinging over a cross that's headed clear easily enough.
27'
It's been a while since Watford got the ball anywhere useful.
27'
Solemnity.
25'
Nice from Arsenal again, Ceballos driving forwards and finding Ozil pullig right, who feathers a cross into the box which narrowly eludes Aubameyang. dawson puts the ball behind, for a corner that comes to nothing.

How Will Watford react to that? The defending there was risible, no one putting a challenge in on Kolasinac, but they'd played well before that point and now they're losing.

GOAL! Watford 0-1 Arsenal (Aubameyang) Ceballos crunches Hughes and Kolasinac, picking up the loose ball, bulls forwards and punches a low pass into Aubameyang, who controls and spins in one movement before drilling low past Foster. That is absolute expertise, proper Ruud van Nistelrooy tackle.

Pepe collects along ball and zones towards the box, swaying and stuttering to find space before welting low, about a yard wide.
18'
Better from Arsenal, Guendouzi and Ozil combining to find Ceballos who eschews a shot with his left foot before having to take one anyway, from a less helpful posiiton. It's blocked at source.
17'
Arsenal knock it about, seeking control.
14'
Arsenal are pretty open here - their midfield, though attacking, is not working.

Nice from Watford, Hughes switching to Deulofue, alone and palely loitering. With no one especially close, he runs at Maitland-Niles, bundles past, and lays back for Holebas, who opens his body and slice-passes over the top. That was a decent chance.
11'
The corner comes to nothing - well, another shot from Cleverley that Leno collected easily.
11'
Nice from Watford, Capoue working it to Cleverley and, as David Luiz backpeddles for reasons known best to himself, he presents a shooting opportunity ... Cleverley hits one, and Leno has to tip over. Good start from the Horns.
10'
Arsenal knock it about until Deulofeu sneaks up on Maitland-Niles, but Watford can't work a promising position and eventually Gray fouls Sokratis.
9'
8'
Ozil crosses in, and Dawson heads away.
7'
Pepe rolls in Maitland-Niles who sees Holebas coming, moving the ball past him and riding the brute that follows. Free-kick Arsenal, just outside the box down its right-hand side...

Deulofeu nudges an angle just outside the box and shoot low, but it's easily saved by Leno.
