Arsenal must play better than they did against Watford if they are to reach Europa League semi-final

IF Arsenal are going to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League, they are going to have go play better than they did against Watford on Monday night.

Tomorrow’s second leg isn’t a forgone conclusion, despite the Gunners heading to Naples with a 2-0 lead.

Their away form has been abysmal all season and even with an extra man for 80 minutes against the Hornets, they looked vulnerable and there for the taking – they struggled to hold on a 1-0 win to record their first away clean sheet of the season.
