... it secured a surprise 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Early strikes from Younes Kaboul and Troy Deeney gave Watford a deserved 2-0 halftime lead before Alex Iwobi pulled a goal back for Arsenal after the break. Watford withstood heavy pressure in the final stages to hold on for its first victory in eight Premier League games and consign Arsenal to a first home defeat since the opening day of the season. Watford debutant M'Baye Niang made an instant impact as he won a free kick on the edge of the Arsenal box in the 10 th minute, with Kaboul sending his shot past Petr Cech with the aid of deflection off Aaron Ramsey. With Arsenal still reeling from the opener, Ramsey carelessly lost the ball to Etienne Capoue, who surged into the Arsenal box and forced a fine save from Cech, only for the ball to fall for Watford captain Troy Deeney to double the lead after just 13 minutes.

Arsenal Eyeing Barcelona Coach As New Head Of Youth

... Premier League clubs. The Emirates hierarchy have been pondering alterations to leadership roles in their academy set-up for a number of months, particularly due to disappointing results by their sides. The club got knocked out of the 2016-17 Youth Cup at just the third-round stage, in a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers, a performance considered unacceptable given the quality of the player in the set-up. Arsenal have been monitoring a series of options to come in and head up their entire academy structure, but Segura has emerged as a leading candidate. Read more.

Zelalem Leaves Arsenal On Loan But Long-term Questions Remain

... Wenger extended Zelalem’s contract, in the hope that he would be a better player next season than he is right now. What Zelalem does have is the in-built advantage of the early starter. He has only just turned 20 and plenty of players do not make their serious breakthrough until they are in their 20 s. What the Zelalem story shows is what a long path it is, and how the most successful examples, such as Alex Iwobi and Hector Bellerin, are the most unusual examples, not cases that can be easily followed.

That is why Matt Pilkington, coach of his boys team Olney Rangers in Washington DC, emailed Arsenal’s USA scout Danny Karbassiyoon about him back in 2010.
