Arsenal v Watford: Four things we noticed

We made it five Premier League wins in succession on Saturday, as we defeated Watford 2-0 at Emirates Stadium.

A composed finish from Mesut Ozil and a Craig Cathcart own goal helped us to secure all three points in the second half - but what did we learn from the game?

ARSENAL TOO NARROW

For much of the afternoon Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette, Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka were all occupying similar positions, in the first half especially, and we barely got in behind the well-drilled Watford back four. The average position map from the opening 45 minutes (below) also shows that Aubameyang was having to drop deep in an attempt to get into the game.
