FULL-TIME
Watford move to FOURTH place in the Premier League table with a terrific victory over Arsenal - their first victory at Vicarage Road this season!
Per Mertesacker's first-half goal had given Arsenal the lead, but then a controversial decision by referee Neil Swarbrick to give the hosts a penalty changed the game - Troy Deeney netted from the spot, and Tom Cleverley won the game for Marco Silva's side at the death.

GOAL! Cleverley smashes home the winner for Watford!
Unbelievable scenes at Vicarage Road! Cleverley scores his first goal in Watford colours in SEVEN years, and what a time to get it.
The ball falls kindly to the former Manchester United man after an almighty scramble, and he makes no mistake as he powers home Watford's second.

But Arsenal win a corner now, and they have Mertesacker and Co. forward to contest the delivery...

Carrillo goes close for the hosts, but his effort from 25-yards is slightly too high. Watford are looking the most likely to win the game now.

Arsenal fail to clear a cross into the box and Richarlison spoons his effort over the bar. It wouldn't have counted anyway, as the referee spotted a foul.

OFF THE POST!
Oh, so close - Watford are denied their second by the woodwork! Substitute Capoue, once of Tottenham, sees his shot deflected beyond the reach of Cech, but on to the outside of the far post.

CHANCE!
Ozil times his run perfectly to break Watford's offside trap, but he cannot find a way past Gomes who makes himself big to make the block.
69'
Ricarlison drives to the by-line before whipping a cross into the penalty area, but he can't pick out a team mate. Watford have upped the tempo recently as they continue to search for an equaliser.
68'
Arsenal deal comfortably with the corner, but Watford soon recover possession. The hosts are already looking more dangerous in a 4-4-2 formation.
