Iwobi's goal not enough to secure Arsenal's win

Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi scored his third EPL goal of the season for Arsenal who suffered a shock 2-1 loss at home to Watford Tuesday night

The strike was Iwobi's fourth goal of the season for the Gunners.

Younes Kaboul smashed in a low free-kick beyond Petr Cech to give Watford the lead in the 11th minute and Troy Deeney handed the Hornets a 2-0 lead three minutes later.

In the 40th minute, Alexis Sanchez bamboozled his way through the penalty area but his strike sailed wide.

Theo Walcott had two clear cut chances at the start of the second half but he was denied by Heurelho Gomes on both occasions.

First he was picked out by Laurent Koscielny and then Mesut Ozil.

In the 58th minute Iwobi tapped in a delightful chip from Sanchez from the right flank back to the far post. The goal was his fifth EPL goal on his 50th appearance since making his debut for the Gunners against Swansea last season.
