Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno says the club will continue to take risks playing out from the back.

Sokratis' poor pass deep in defence allowed Tom Cleverley to make it 2-1 in Sunday's draw with Watford, who eventually scored again to steal a point.

But Leno says it is vital for his team to take risks in order to beat the opposition press.

"It is still a process we have to work on," said Leno. "We try to take the risk because if we beat the press of Watford, then there is a lot of space for our strikers.

"In the first half, we did it very well but in the second we didn't create too many chances from playing out from the back."
