Arsenal 1-2 Watford
Watford
Watford boss Walter Mazzarri: "I had to take some decisions on the game and formation after the Millwall defeat and we had to play differently which showed with our performance today.
"We played a great first half and the condition of some of the players is returning. In the second half, Arsenal managed to press us but in general it was very well done.
"Against a great team in their stadium, you cannot allow them to play too much of the ball and you have to press them. We did that very well but you cannot do it for 90 minutes. That was our tactic.
"I want to wish Odion Ighalo good luck because he is a great player and professional. I am very happy with our January signings in M'Baye Niang and Mauro Zarate and I have to do the best with that."
