Watford 2-2 Arsenal: 4 talking points in Arsenal draw with Watford in Premier League

Watford 2-2 Arsenal: 4 talking points in Arsenal playing a draw against Watford on the 5th game-day of the Premier League.

Arsenal had a dynamic start to the game, as they scored two goals in the first half of the game and it felt like Arsenal will seal the game with the lead they had.

However, to Arsenal’s horror, Watford made a comeback to draw the game to level the score by 2-2 to fetch points against The Gunners.

The harm is all on Arsenal as their mistakes allowed it to happen. Moreover, with Watford having a new manager, who had his debut game, Arsenal had a great chance to dominate Watford.

However, in the end, Unai Emery’s side were not able to sustain the two goal lead, since the pressure by Watford was not handled by Watford.

There is a lot to introspect for the North London club, since this came against one of the current vulnerable sides in the Premier League and Arsenal should have sealed the match after the lead they got in the initial minutes of the game.

Thus, we will discuss 4 talking points in the game, after Arsenal played a draw against Watford in the 5th gameweek of the Premier League.
