Arsene Wenger reveals Troy Deeney's 'cojones' remarks motivated Arsenal and praises Petr Cech's 200th clean sheet in the Premier League

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits Troy Deeney's 'cojones' comment gave his side extra motivation to beat Watford and return to winning ways in the Premier League.

Goals from Shkodran Mustafi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan ensured the Gunners stopped a three-game losing streak in the league in a 3-0 victory and also made Deeney eat his words.

In the wake of Watford's win over Arsenal in October's reverse fixture, Deeney suggested that the Gunners lacked a 'bit of cojones, a bit of nuts', but it was the Hornets striker who had a difficult afternoon this time around as he missed a second-half penalty in a comprehensive defeat.
