It may have been a routine 4-1 win for the Gunners, bit conceding goals like this will not fill fans with hope ahead of the new campaign.

FT: ARSENAL 4-1 WATFORD

Arsenal thrashed Watford in their pre-season friendly at London Colney.

The Gunners opened the scoring on 16 minutes when Eddie Nketiah picked the ball up down the left flank and put together a wonderful run before beating Daniel Bachmann with a neat curling shot.

But the Hornets equalised after 34 minutes when Mohamed Elneny was carelessly dispossessed inside his own box and Philip Zinckernagel bested Bernd Leno from close range.

Manager Mikel Arteta shook things up in the second half with seven changes that helped the north Londoners absolutely dominate.

The home side earned a penalty in the 70th minute when Alexandre Lacazette was fouled inside the area and the star striker beat Bachmann from the spot.

Arsenal sealed the win seven minutes later when Emile Smith Rowe set Kieran Tierney in front of Rob Elliot and the full-back hit the back of the net from close range.

Youngster Miguel Azeez netted the Gunners’ fourth just four minutes before full-time with an outstanding long-range shot that gave Elliot absolutely no chance
