Watford:
Foster: 4 - A horrible mistake for Aubameyang’s goal
Janmaat: 5 - Unexceptional
Masina: 5 - Average
Cathcart: 5 - Quiet
Doucoure: 4 - High challenge on Torreira also deserved a red card
Gray: 5 - Ineffective
Hughes: 5 - Disappointing
Femenia: 4.5 -
Kabasele: 4 - Poor
Deeney: 0 (zero) - Lacked cojones
Capoue: 5 - Not as effective as he would have liked
Arsenal:

Xhaka; 7.5 - Increasingly influential
Ramsey: 7.5 - A real shame this all-action Gunners servant

Substitutes:
Ozil: 7 - Silky
Guendouzi: 7 - His arrival saw a change of shape at the back
