Sanchez, Ozil shine as Arsenal top Watford (The Associated Press)

Badly needing a result, Arsenal showed little sign of nerves but were helped by an out-of-sorts first-half display from Watford as the Gunners ran out 3-1 winners on Saturday at Vicarage Road. When Nordin Amrabat clumsily fouled Alexis Sanchez inside the box nine minutes in, allowing Santi Cazorla to score from the spot, it was always going to be an uphill battle, but Watford's woes were compounded by two late first-half goals. After a brief bright spell from the hosts, Arsenal (1-1-1) struck on the break as Theo Walcott delivered a mouth-watering cross for Sanchez to bundle.
