Player Ratings: Watford 2-3 Arsenal

Arsenal battled to a vital 3 points away at Watford on Sunday afternoon, moving them into pole position for the top four.

Arsenal managed a huge win at home to Wolves, but needed to follow that up with a victory over relegation strugglers, Watford.

Three fine goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard gave Arsenal enough to take the points, despite a late goal from Sissoko, which led to a nervy finish.
