Arsene Wenger heaps praise on Granit Xhaka

Kaboul, the former Tottenham and Sunderland defender, endured a torrid Watford debut, but is confident things will improve.

At Vicarage Road on Saturday, the Gunners raced into a three goal half time lead courtesy of Santi Cazorla from the penalty spot, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Özil with a ideal header on the stroke of half time.

“I said before the season started that we will get a different Theo Walcott this year”.

“I believe we shot ourselves in the foot in the first game and were under huge pressure”, Wenger said.

The Chile forward tumbled to the ground in the area after being challenged by Nordin Amrabat, giving Santi Cazorla the opportunity to slot a penalty kick down the middle to put Arsenal ahead in the 9th minute. At the moment we are not completely there physically and could see that in the second half.

The Hornets boss described Pereyra as the “missing point” of his squad and the introduction of the 25-year-old from Argentina invigorated Watford’s performance in the second half.

However, Mahrez saw his effort saved by Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and Leroy Fer pulled a goal back 10 minutes from time to set up a nervous finish for the Foxes.

ARSENE WENGER, Arsenal manager, on getting their first win of the season. The next two will be very important for us’. “Now we must continue”.

With Watford reeling, the Gunners added a third on the stroke of half-time.

Mesut Ozil was making his first start of the season after being rested following Euro 2016 and Arsenal’s German playmaker made up for lost time with a headed goal in first-half stoppage time.

Rose made Liverpool pay for their profligacy in the 72nd minute to leave Klopp ruing an opportunity missed.

“We have 35 more games to play”, he said.

“But you will see how many transfers will happen in the next three or four days, it will be wonderful, maybe the biggest amount ever”. “It’s hard to create one chance, we had a few”.

David Moyes secured his first point as Sunderland manager with a 1-1 draw at Southampton, but will have been disappointed not to have claimed all three at St Mary’s.
