Why Mikel Arteta yelled at Kieran Tierney during Arsenal’s win over Watford
An explanation for why Mikel Arteta yelled at Kieran Tierney during Arsenal’s win over Watford on Sunday has been provided.
The Gunners were in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon, knowing that a win would see them move into the top-four and stay there if Manchester United lost their game later in the day.
And, when all was said and done, Arsenal came away with a deserved three points. Martin Odegaard opened the scoring on the day, finishing off a well-worked move:

Watford then pulled one back through Cucho Hernandez, but Arsenal quickly retook the lead via Bukayo Saka:
“He’s made one and scored one!” 💪

Gabriel Martinelli went on to make it 3-1 in the second half, with a late Moussa Sissoko goal nothing more than a consolation for the Hornets.
Why Arteta yelled at Tierney
It was not all plain-sailing for Mikel Arteta’s side, however, with their defending on the day leaving much to be desired.
