Kaboul celebrates his goal

Arsenal have been notoriously slow starters this season, often going down by more than a goal and leaving themselves a mountain to climb. They did it against Bournemouth as well as Ludogorets, but were able to fight back on those two occasions. Watford, however, made sure it didn’t happen a third time.

Kaboul put his side ahead after just 10 minutes with a deflected effort that found its way past a hapless Petr Cech. The goal was Watford’s first at the Emirates as they had failed to score at that ground in their last two attempts.

Troy Deeney then doubled that lead after some neat play from Capoue. The Frenchman ghosted past the Arsenal defence only for his shot to be well-saved by Cech, but the rebound fell kindly to the Englishman, who made no mistake.
