Tottenham kept up the pressure on leaders Chelsea with an impressive home victory over Watford, their sixth consecutive Premier League win.
Watford had started brightly, but Dele Alli’s sumptuous strike – curled into the top corner after Son Heung-min’s pass – signalled their quick decline.
Within just 11 more minutes they were three behind as Eric Dier smashed in from Son’s deflected cross, before the South Korea forward added a third just before the break, firing in a rasping drive following Christian Eriksen’s pass.
After half-time it was much the same story, with Watford only threatening in isolated moments, and Son further confirmed Spurs’ dominance by meeting Kieran Trippier’s perfect cross with a lovely half-volley at the far post.
Harry Kane, returning as a second-half substitute, struck the bar with an injury-time free-kick – the last kick of the game – and Son might have sealed his hat-trick from his earlier pass.
Mauricio Pocehttino’s side are now four points behind Chelsea, who play at Bournemouth later on Saturday (17:30 BST).
And they are also 14 points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal, who have two games in hand and play at Crystal Palace on Monday (20:00).
