Granit Xhaka Says Arsenal 'Were Scared' During 2nd Half vs. Watford

Arsenal "were scared" during the second half of Sunday's 2-2 draw away to Watford in the Premier League, according to club captain Granit Xhaka.

The midfielder spoke to Sky Sports (h/t Joe Krishnan of the London Evening Standard) after the Gunners blew a two-goal lead against the team bottom of the division and failed to move up to third in the table:

"What went wrong? That's a good question. At half-time we went to the dressing room and everything was good. Everyone was happy but we came out and played such a bad second half.
