“I have come up with (former Watford managers) Sean Dyche and Malky Mackay and if we had turned our back on the ball like that, they would have had strong words with us.”
The Hornets followed up their shock success with another win against Burnley at the weekend to ease their relegation fears and climb back into the top 10.
While the Gunners suffered another humiliating defeat at the hands of league leaders Chelsea, who are now 12 points clear of Arsenal in the title race.
