[Video Highlights] Tottenham 1-0 Watford: Trippier Sends Spurs Second

Kieran Trippier scored the only goal of the game as Tottenham Hotspur beat Watford 1-0 at White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon to climb up to second spot in the Premier League table.

Spurs endured a frustrating first half as despite dominating much of the ball they couldn’t create too many clear cut chances and when they did find a path to goal, former goalkeeper Gomes stood in their way.

However, after a goalless opening forty-five minutes, Tottenham finally found the breakthrough when Dele Alli’s superb cross found Kieran Trippier and the full-back tapped home at the far post for 1-0 in the 64th minute.

Heung-min Son almost made it 2-0 shortly after but was denied by Gomes and Watford pushed to find the late equaliser but Spurs held on to secure a vital three points at the Lane.

The victory sees Tottenham climb above Manchester City in to second spot in the table after the Citizens lost at home to Leicester City earlier today.
