Watford captain Troy Deeney insists Arsenal lacked 'cojones' during last gasp defeat at Vicarage Road

Watford captain Troy Deeney has spoken with brutal honestly about Arsenal's last-gasp defeat to his side at Vicarage Road, insisting Arsene Wenger's men simply lacked the 'cojones' to put up a fight.

Deeney made the pivotal difference in the match after coming on in the second half and immediately disrupting the Watford back line.

Following a controversial spot-kick awarded by referee Neil Swarbrick after Brazilian star Richarlison came together with Hector Bellerin, Deeney stepped up to smash the ball home and pull his side level.

A last gasp equaliser was enough for Watford to dramatically claim all three points and continue their best start to a Premier League campaign, though Wenger in the aftermath was keen to point immediately to poor refereeing decisions.
