Arsene Wenger’s men continues in a misery that might leave them without a silverware this season after being Crashed out of their regular FA Cup on Sunday.
Watford thrash Arsenal 2-1 to make their first ever semis in the top flight. With the Hornets top scorer opening the scoring in the second half to dish out critics after failing to score in as many games as played. Ighalo then missed another good chance after a through ball from former Chelsea man, Ake. The second goal came begging as the away side mounted pressure on the host. Sooner, their pressure paid off after Deeney hold-up the ball inside the Arsenal area to tee-up the incoming Adlene Guedioura whose thunderbolt skip passed Ospina and into the back of the net to make it 2 nil.
Arsene Wenger then made 3 successive changes by bringing on Welbeck, Walcott and Iwobi to replace Giroud, El Heny, and Campbell respectively. Welbeck then pulled one back at the 88minute, but could not be a hero for a fantastic come back after being set up by Sanchez. The former Manchester United man wobbled the back far wide when he needed just a back heel touch to turn things around.
Arsenal are to play the inform Spanish giant on Wednesday, with Barcelona hoping to win at Camp Nou to keep their back to back trebble at bay. If they need a progression, then Arsenal ought to step up the pace to see off the Spanish Giants.
