Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin has admitted his pleasure at the performance he put in against Premier League newcomers Watford, where he picked up an impressive assist and helped his side to a solid clean sheet.
The Gunners put in an impressive second half performance which saw them take a 3-0 win away from Vicarage Road after an initial tough start to proceedings. The young Spaniard was able to help out in attacking positions and believes that spending the early years of his career as a right-winger enables him to be as efficient in attack as he is defensively.
It is important when the ball does not go in that you carry on playing your game.
I think that Watford were very, very physical for the whole game and they were running out towards the end and we took profit from that.
I was a right-winger before so it is always nice when I have the space up front to go forward and hopefully I can help the team like that.
We scored three late goals and it does not matter as long as you score them.
The physicality from the likes of Troy Deeney troubled the north London side, but Bellerin told Arsenal Player that his side dealt with their opponents’ threat well.
They have very strong players up front and they are a handful especially players like Troy [Deeney] and I think we dealt with them and when we could play with the ball we did that.
It is important we got a win here as it is a very difficult venue.
I have a lot of memories from when I was here. It was short but it was intense.
I’m very happy for the win and I’m very happy to be back.
Bellerin and Arsenal next come up against Bayern Munich midweek in the UEFA Champions League, where he will face one of the biggest tests of his short career thus far.
