Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey 'bottled it' against Watford - Troy Deeney

Watford captain Troy Deeney has criticised Aaron Ramsey for turning his back on a free kick he deflected into his own net against the Hornets, saying the Arsenal midfielder "bottled it."

Watford won 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium last week after taking an early 2-0 lead, with the first goal coming after Younes Kaboul's fierce set piece deflected off Ramsey's leg and past Petr Cech.

"I think he bottled it a little bit; Ramsey's mistake was our blessing," Deeney is quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph. "I have come up with Sean Dyche and Malky Mackay [at Watford] and if we had turned our back on the ball like that, they would have had strong words with us.
