Comments:

League position: 2nd By moving up to second position with this win, Tottenham Hotspur were now in their highest league placing after 25 games of a league season since 1984-85 in League Division One. Kieran Trippier scored his first Premier League goal in his 43rd appearance. It was his first goal in his last 73 games in all competitions. Tom Carroll replaced Christian Eriksen in the second minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 10th Watford had now recovered only two points from losing positions in the Premier League in this season; fewer than any other team. The Hornets had now failed to score in four of their last five Premier League games.
