Granit Xhaka: 'Finishing top four more important than Europa League'

The Gunners moved up to fourth with their win over Watford.

Arsenal will prioritise finishing in the Premier League top four over their bid to win the Europa League, according to midfielder Granit Xhaka.

The Gunners moved up to fourth with an unconvincing 1-0 win against 10-man Watford on Monday night as Unai Emery looks to secure a return to Champions League football after just a season at the helm.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the only goal at Vicarage Road with 10 minutes gone as Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster dallied in possession and then struck his clearance straight onto the boot of the Gabon forward who was tearing down on him.

"I don't think this will affect us at all," he told watfordfc.com.

"We've put in a great performance given the way things went in the first 15 minutes. We can be proud of how we played. It was difficult and we had to run a lot but we can be very proud of ourselves.

"We had 10 men but if anything it looked like they had the 10 men. We had more possession, we had decent opportunities to score and we're really disappointed coming off the pitch with nothing from the game."
