Arsenal win 1-0 at Watford in the Premier League

Arsenal benefited from a bizarre goal following a goalkeeping error and Watford striker Troy Deeney's red card to claim a 1-0 win that lifted the team back into the English Premier League's top four on Monday.

The match was ultimately decided in the space of a few seconds in the first half, with Arsenal going ahead in the 10th minute when Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster dallied on a back pass, then slammed his clearance into the outstretched left boot of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The ball rebounded into the net from six metres.

Within a minute, Watford were reduced to 10 men when Deeney was sent off for elbowing Lucas Torreira in the face after the Arsenal midfielder had passed the ball to a teammate.
