Watford were unable to make it three successive wins and complete a home-and-away Premier League double this afternoon after they fell to a 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium.
Goals from Skhodran Mustafi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan completed what ultimately proved a comfortable victory for the Gunners, although Troy Deeney spurned a great chance to narrow the deficit when the Hornets were trailing 2-0 but missed a penalty.
Here are a selection of images from the match as Arsene Wenger's men made it consecutive triumphs following their 2-0 Europa League victory at AC Milan.
