Arsenal could not withstand a second-half barrage at Vicarage Road on Sunday as Watford fought back from two goals down to secure a dramatic point, with the Gunners achieving an unwanted new milestone in the process.
In total, Arsenal faced 31 shots against the Hornets, the most they have ever allowed another Premier League side to have against them since Opta began collecting data in the division in 2003. It is also the most shots Watford have had in a Premier League game, with 23 efforts coming in the second half alone.
The Gunners looked set for a comfortable afternoon when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s double put them ahead in the first half, the opener coming from a 20-pass move, the most passes in a move leading to a goal in the English top-flight so far this season.
