Arsenal are cruising now as Watford struggle to regain the foothold in the game that they held earlier on in the game.

Van Persie and Adebayor making a nuisance of themselves in the penalty area beofre the Dutchman finds his strike partner who scuffs the shot well wide again and Arsenal are wasting a lot of chances to wrap this game up.

Fabregas now twists and turns on the edge of the box and finds room for a shot and although he catches it well enough it drifts high and wide of Foster's goal.

Adebayor runs once more at the defence and goes down looking for a free kick but the referee says nothing doing causing the Watford fans and players to berate the striker for possibly diving.

Watford are down to ten men for the time being as Bouazza is off receiving treatment for what looks to be a damaged shoulder.

Its real end to end stuff now as Adebayor again finds himself in space in the box but once more Foster flies low to his right hand side to make a great diving stop and Shittu clears from the rebound.

Now its Watford's turn to attack as McNamee looks to deep for Young at the back post and he looks to head it across to Smith but Toure is there to head clear.

Adebayor is onto the through ball and he sends DeMerit the wrong way and shoots but Foster makes a fabulous save with his left foot to prevent Arsenal from taking the lead for the second time.

Bouazza is disrupting Lehmann prompting the usual reaction from the Arsenal keeper who then to the sound of laughter from the Vicarage Road crowd smashes his drop kick clearance against Kolo Toure.

Hleb flicks the ball through for Van Persie who is denied brilliantly by Foster as he flies out only for the Dutchman to put the rebound into the net but the offside flag was up when Van Persie first went through and it is ruled out.

Still the Watford players are harrying the Arsenal players when they get possession and they are really getting in amongst them preventing them from creating any great chances.

Rosicky again in behind Mariappa and looks for Adebayor but Shittu makes a superb sliding intervention to prevent the Togo international from being left one on one with Foster.

Rosicky shows great pace as he sprints past Mariappa, who is no slouch, and drives into the box where he looks to beat Foster at the near post but the keeper is well positioned and makes a decent save at the expense of a corner.

Bangura strikes it on the half volley from 25 yards and Lehmann is forced to scramble across his goal as it screams just wide of his near post.

Another free kick in a dangerous area from right hand channel which Stewart delivers but he fails to clear the first man and eventually McNamee looks to deliver but he can only hit is too deep and Lehmann gathers.

Fabregas though on the clounter attack now on the left hand side beats Mariappa and although he has Adebayor in the box looks for goal from the corner of the penalty box but shanks it well wide with his lef tfoot to the amusement of the Watford fans

Watford really have their tails up at the moment as McNamee tricks his way past Hoyte and Hleb before whipping in a good cross to the near post that Toure heads clear.

Stewart whips in a dangerous free kick but Toure meets it well with two Hornets players ready to pounce on any mistake.

Adebayor is free in the middle as he chests down the ball from Fabregas but as the defenders close him down he shoots wildly over the bar from 15 yards out.

Bouazza again pops up this time on the right and cuts inside Djourou and hits it well with his favoured left foot but straight at the waiting Lehmann.

Watford are defending stoutly but Fabergas is finding possession easier to come by at the minute and Watford will need to be careful when he has the ball.

The game has settled down since the Watford equaliser as both sides search for midfield supremacy.

Young looks to hit back immediately as he attempts to lob Lehmann but the German keeper is aware and makes a good save diving backwards towards his line.

Young catches Djourou dallying on the bouncing ball and only a superb covering tackle from Gilberto prevents Youngg giving Watford the lead.

Foster is forced into another smart save as Van Persie volleys from close range but the Dutchman is ruled to have fouled Jay DeMerit in the process.

Danny Shittu escapes at the far post from the corner but can only head wide but Arsenal are looking vulnerable at set pieces.

For the first time Arsenal look dangerous as Fabregas puts Van Persie through one on one but the Dutchman is offside.
