Arsenal player ratings: Watford (A)

Arsenal blew a two-goal lead to only get a point against Watford at Vicarage Road in an entertaining Premier League game on Sunday.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a brace in the first half to put the Gunners into a commanding position.

However, their defence gifted two goals away after the break to allow the home side to come back into the game and rue themselves for not scoring the winner late on.

Aubameyang made an instinctive finish in the 21st minute after some good work by Sead Kolasinac. The Gabon star had a tap in 12 minutes later after Ainsley Maitland-Niles delivered it for him on the plate.

Watford pulled one back through Tom Cleverley when Sokratis gave the ball away in his box. Just a few minutes later, David Luiz made a clumsy challenge on Roberto Pereyra to give away a penalty.

The aforementioned Watford man stepped up and scored his spot kick with aplomb.

At the end of the day, on the evidence of what happened in the second half, Arsenal should count themselves lucky to even get a point.
