Cleverley hits late winner as Watford beat Arsenal to go fourth

Arsenal gave away a lead to lose 2-1 away to Watford as Tom Cleverley netted an injury time winner.


Arsenal had gone ahead in the 39th minute when Per Mertesacker headed home from Granit Xhaka's corner.

However, Watford found a route back into the game when Troy Deeney converted from the penalty spot after Hector Bellerin was deemed to have fouled Richarlison.

The hosts snatched victory in the dying moments of the game as Cleverley seized on a loose ball to smash home.

The result sees Watford up to fourth, with Arsenal trailing fifth-placed Chelsea on goal difference.
