    That's the most shots Watford have had in a Premier League game.

    Sho: Watford will be disappointed not to win. They absolutely mauled Arsenal 2nd half. Great comeback though and no chance they'll go down.

    Craig Smith: I feel like nothing changes. Every season #Arsenal, external look so fragile at the back. New players, new manager, is it in the water?

    This has been the Watford from old. When you come to Vicarage Road you want to see them tough and competitive.

    Arsenal will be disappointed having gone 2-0 up. Don't take anything away from Watford - they took it to Arsenal.

    Watford had 31 shots in that game. We can blame Arsenal's defending all we like but credit where it's due...

    Well that was all very entertaining! Quique Sanchez Flores is cheered to the rafters. Even though Watford stay bottom.

    Steady on Stephen...

    Emery has attempted to fix an error-prone back line by adding more error-prone players to the mix. Bit like giving a child with toothache more sweets to distract him from the pain.

    Elton, London.

    What a run that was by Abdoulaye Doucoure. That was Patrick Vieira from years ago.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 90+2 mins

    Watford 2-2 Arsenal

    To win it! No!

    Brilliant form Abdoulaye Doucoure, absolutely brilliant as he charges through the middle, plays it out to Ismaila Sarr, gets into the box and meets the cross - but puts it straight at the keeper!

    Watford 2-2 Arsenal

    This is excellent stuff. Both sides are all over the place as Watford have a 29th shot on goal blocked and then Joe Willock almost walks through the only two men left back to win it for Arsenal, but loses his footing!

    Stretched beyond belief.

    Arsenal have a rare attack, it comes towards Granit Xhaka at the back stick...he can't control it.

    Quique Sanchez Flores may not have a better 45 minutes in charge than this. Watford have been brilliant since being gifted a way back into the game.

    This is relentless from Watford. Abdoulaye Doucoure and Etienne Capoue have been immense in the second half.

  13. CLOSE!published at 86 mins

    Watford 2-2 Arsenal

    But David Luiz has saved Arsenal there! Tom Cleverley's shot is flying into the top corner but hits Luiz on the top of the head and flies over.

    This is a remarkable turnaround.

  14. Postpublished at 85 mins

    Watford 2-2 Arsenal

    David Luiz has given away two penalties in four Premier League appearances for Arsenal - before this run, he hadn't given away a penalty in this competition since October 2011 for Chelsea.

    I thought he was a bit of a bargain for Arsenal if I'm being totally honest. I think Frank Lampard may have called that one right...

  15. CLOSE!published at 84 mins

    Watford 2-2 Arsenal

    is this in...no!

    Gerard Deulofeu is so, so close to putting Watford ahead! A cross from the right comes through to him beyond the far post and he nails a curling shot past Bernd Leno but just wide of the target too.

    What a second half it has been! Watford have deserved it. They have been dominant in possession. Can they now go on and win it?

    GOAL - Watford 2-2 Arsenalpublished at 81 mins

    Roberto Pereyra (Pen)

    Gutsy from Watford, absolute Gunners from Arsenal.

    Arsenal's defence has been a mess and they have thrown away a two-goal lead!

    Substitute Roberto Pereyra steps up and sends Bernd Leno the wrong way.

    My initial thought was it was outside and it was carried into the box. It was definitely a foul. It was whether it was outside the box or not.

  20. PENALTY TO WATFORD!published at 80 mins

    Watford 1-2 Arsenal

    Arsenal had just had a shot on goal but they are caught on the break by Watford. Roberto Pereyra cuts inside David Luiz, who is in a bad shape and chops him down.

    It's on the edge of the area - but the right side of the line as far as the hosts are concerned...
