Arsenal 3-0 Watford: Gunners player ratings as they cruise to victory
By Kian Long
Ainsley Maitland-Niles – 7/10
We hear this all the time, but the Englishman was played out of position. Does he really have a position? The young player seems to excel in every role he’s asked to adopt.
He certainly prefers to be in the final third, as he’s shown his defensive frailties at times this season. Today was no different, as he gave away a penalty. Luckily for the youngster, Petr Cech managed to keep the ball out of the net and save him from a game-defining moment.
As always, he looked confident on the ball, applying his usual composed fashion. With Hector Bellerin being unavailable in recent weeks, he has certainly made a name for himself to Arsene Wenger.
Sead Kolasinac – 6/10
The Bosnian applied his trade in Watford’s half on a number of occasions in this match, but he looked out of place. He was responsible for a number of Arsenal’s loose balls, after impressing many in the AC Milan first leg.
Other than that, he looked comfortable in defense, and helped his side see out the result at Arsenal 3-0 Watford.
