Arsenal stretched their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 matches with a 1-0 victory over Watford.
Simon Collings was at Emirates Stadium to see the Gunners in action...
Aaron Ramsdale 5
Didn’t really have a save to make all afternoon and was mainly a bystander during the 90 minutes. Almost undone late on when he missed a ball for Josh King.
Takehiro Tomiyasu 6
Had a few ropey moments in the first-half, but got better after the break. Impressed defensively in the air.
Ben White 8
A really good game from the centre-back just a few days after he was overlooked by England. Played a key role in the goal with a great run forward.
Gabriel 8 | Star man
Another strong performance from the Brazilian, who is just a rock at the bottom. Barely gave King a sniff all game.
Nuno Tavares 6
Not at the level he has been recently, mainly because Watford sat so deep and starved him of space to run into.
Albert Sambi Lokonga 5
A difficult afternoon for the Belgian, who struggled to ever really get into the game. Below the level he has been performing at recently.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles 8
A good performance in the middle of the park from the England international. Broke up play well and his passing was on point too.
Gave Danny Rose a torrid time as he ran at him. Had a goal ruled out for offside and on another afternoon he would have come away with one.
Alexandre Lacazette 6
Had a fairly solid game. Won the penalty after being fouled by Danny Rose and had a couple of nice moments, particularly one mazy run in the second-half.
Is in the form of his life and just gets better with every game he plays. That’s four goals in his last eight games now.
It just wasn’t the captain’s day at all. Missed a penalty, had a goal and assist ruled out for offside too.
