Arsenal defeat Watford to move into top-four

| Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for Arsenal |
Arsenal moved into top-four after defeating 10-man Watford by 1-0 thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal following Ben Foster's blunder in the first half.
Foster looked to be clearing a ball away from the box but his hesitation allowed Aubameyang to catch up on him and get a touch which rolled into the empty net. Moments later Watford skipper Troy Deeney received his marching order for catching Lucas Torreira with his elbow and though Watford played better thereafter, they couldn't get beyond the Arsenal net. Arsenal now have 66 points, level on point with Chelsea with an higher goal difference, just one point below third Tottenham. The race for the top four might well likely be unto the end of the season.
Watford lost for the first time in their last six Premier League home games.
Watford have since returning to Premier League in 2015/16 picked up 15 red cards, more than any other side in the competition.
This is the second time ever that Troy Deeney would be sent off in the Premier League. The first time since against Huddersfield in December 2017.
Aubameyang has had a hand in 37 Premier League goals since he joined Arsenal in February 2018, 11 more than any other player for the Gunners within that time.
