Arsenal can right last season's wrongs after new signings

Manager Arsene Wenger has recruited the required personnel at the right time after failing to buy a single outfield player last summer.

March 13, 2016. Arsenal faces Watford in an FA Cup quarterfinal clash at the Emirates Stadium for a chance to book a place at Wembley. Arsene Wenger has won the showpiece trophy more than any other manager in the club's history and he was desperate to continue that impressive run of victories against a side led by Quique Flores Sanchez.

It appeared to be written in the stars, but it wasn’t.

Odion Ighalo shocked the hosts by scoring his first goal in 599 minutes to give the Hornets a second-half lead, before Adlene Guedioura struck with the visitors’ second shot on target.
