Arsenal boss Wenger hails outstanding Iwobi for Watford rout

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted with their 4-0 rout of Watford.

Alex Iwobi scored one and made another at Emirates Stadium, with the other goals coming from Alexis Sanchez, Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott to help keep the Gunners' faint title hopes alive.

"Is he a loss for England? Yes," Wenger said.

"We have values in our club that are maybe not rated always, but one of them is to give a chance to young people and educate them.

"Every year we bring players out and not many can say that. I'm happy Alex is one of them.

"He arrived here at the age of seven or eight. He's completely integrated in the way we want to play football.

"He's worked with us since the start of the season and it shows because when he came in he was used to the way we want to play."
