Arsenal are currently locking horns with relegation-battling Watford in the Premier League. A win against Roy Hodgson's side would see the north London giants climb up to fourth place in the points table.
It took the Gunners just five minutes to take the lead at Vicarage Road. Martin Odegaard opened the scoring for Mikel Arteta's side, while Bukayo Saka provided the assist.
Watford, though, brought the game back to square one by equalising just six minutes later. Kiko Femenia provided the assist as Hernandez netted the equaliser for the Hornets.
