Arsenal were truly dominant against Watford at the weekend.

Arsenal dominated against Watford at the weekend, beating the Hornets 4-0.

The win carried on where they left off by winning 2-0 away at Everton, keeping their title challenge alive and exacting revenge on the team which knocked them out of the FA Cup.

For a measure of just how dominant Arsenal were in their win, it is possible to compare their display with every other side in the Premier League at the weekend.

Of the players to complete a high number of passes in the opposition’s final third at the weekend, four of the top five played for Arsenal.

Mesut Ozil predictably tops the figures, while new signing Mohamed Elneny features, as does defender Hector Bellerin, who also got on the scoresheet.

Manchester United’s Juan Mata was the only player across the Premier League to get near the Arsenal quartet, who will want to maintain their performance levels for the rest of the season.

It is unlikely they will be afforded the same time and space away at West Ham on Saturday, and they will need to make sure they make their possession count if they are to secure a vital away win.
