Walter Mazzari’s Watford were completely rattled by an energetic first half performance by Mauricio Pochettino’s side at White Hart Lane this weekend. English international Dele Alli opened the scoring for the hosts in the 33rd minute with a curler while Eric Dier and Heung-Min Son struck just minutes later to take Spurs to a three-goal advantage at the stroke of half-time.
The South Korean added another one, right after the break to seal all three points in emphatic fashion as they ran away with a 4-0 victory. Dele Alli and Son Heung-min are looking absolutely unstoppable. Here’s how Spurs fared against Watford.
Tottenham Player Ratings:
Hugo Lloris (6)
Slowly getting close to Thibaut Courtois at Chelsea in terms of clean sheets as he had a comfortable game where he was hardly tested.
Kieran Trippier (7)
Made a number of marauding runs into the box that stretched the Watford defence on a productive day for the full-back.
Eric Dier (7)
He once again showed why he deserves to play in central midfield, with his range of passing. He created a number of chances from his position and also got himself on the score-sheet with a sumptuous strike.
Toby Alderweireld (6)
Was comfortable with everything that was thrown at him by a struggling Watford attack as he helped his side to yet another clean sheet.
Jan Vertonghen (6)
A solid performance at the back where he was hardly stretched and also came close to finding his mark at the other end.
Ben Davies (6)
Had a far better game than he did against Swansea as he was solid at the back. He also helped his side’s attacks in what was a complete performance from Tottenham.
Mousa Dembele (7)
Did a bit of dirty work at the back and was superb when going forward as he sliced open the Watford defence on more than one occasion.
Son Heung-Min (9)
The best player on the pitch on the night as he created a number of chances and bagged himself a brace. Should have got his hat-trick but missed a sitter late in the game.
Dele Alli (7)
Continuing his impressive performances this season, Alli opened the scoring with a superb goal and was also a constant presence in attack for Tottenham as they thrashed Watford.
Christian Eriksen (8)
Unlucky to not be there on the score-sheet but Eriksen was the playmaker that Tottenham fed off as they put four past Watford in a commanding display.
Vincent Janssen (6)
Still not looking comfortable, but he was a threat to Watford defence and should have scored early in the game when he missed from close range.
Subs:
Harry Kane (6)
Came in for Janssen and though he created only a couple of chances, he will boost Tottenham’s title push.
Moussa Sissoko (6)
Came on with 15 minutes to go and was not too far away from giving Tottenham another goal in this comfortable victory.
Josh Onomah (6)
Came in too late into the game to have any kind of effect.
