Video: Watford 2-1 Arsenal: Controversy at Vicarage Road as Arsenal crash
There was controversy at Vicarage Road as Watford came from a goal down to score a late winner and secure a 2-1 victory over a sloppy Arsenal side this evening.
We opened the scoring just five minutes before the break as Per Mertesacker rose high to head home from a corner in the 39th minute for what was his first league goal in almost four years.
Alex Iwobi could have made it 2-0 midway through the second half but his shot was well saved while Ozil should certainly have doubled our advantage but he fluffed a great chance when clean through.
Predictably, we rued those missed chances as Watford were awarded a controversial penalty just a few minutes later. Richarlison blatantly dived under minimal contact from Bellerin.
Deeny stepped up and made it 1-1 in the 71st minute with Cech once again going the wrong way [will he ever save a penalty!?].
To make matters worse, there was time left for the officials to really screw us as Tom Cleverely slammed home a loose ball in injury time but replays showed a Watford player was just offside in the build-up.
We were far from our best today but the penalty decision changed the game in Watford’s favour and they got another bit of luck for the late winner.

Apart from penalty controversy decision against Arsenal.arsene Wenger introduction of Ozil does not make any impact. Sanchez could have been a good changes instead of holding.
