Capoue's blistering display boosts brave Watford in upset win at Arsenal

A barnstorming first-half display earned Watford a well-deserved but wholly unexpected 2-1 victory against Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday. The visitors could easily have been further ahead at the break and backed up a dominant first 45 minutes with a disciplined and brave second period. On the eve of Graham Taylor's funeral, this was a performance that would have made Watford's greatest manager proud.

Positives

This was a display full of positive intent and the way Watford set the tone by tearing into their opponents from the kickoff was a joy to behold.
