| Erik Lamela scored Tottenham's opener at Vicarage Road |
Spurs got the goalscoring underway at Vicarage Road through Erik Lamela after Hornets defender Craig Cathcart conceded possession on the halfway line.
Dele Alli dispossessed Cathcart before Harry Kane passed to Lamela, who dribbled the length of the Watford half to slot the ball past goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.

| Odion Ighalo scored his 14th of the season against Tottenham |
The hosts found themselves level just before the break through in-form striker Odion Ighalo, who registered his 14th goal of the campaign.
The Nigerian burst through the Spurs defence to poke the ball past Hugo Loris after out-muscling Eric Dier.

| Nathan Ake was shown red for a foul on Erik Lamela |
Watford almost held on to a valuable point after Nathan Ake was shown a straight red with 35 minutes remaining after a dangerous foul on Lamela, but Spurs nicked it at the death.
Kieran Trippier crossed the ball into the box from the right to find substitute Son Heung-min, whose effort embarrassingly goes through the legs of Gomes.
