Comments:

League position: 2nd Tottenham Hotspur had now won 11 consecutive home league games for the first time since 1987. Spurs had now equalled their club record of 14 home wins in a Premier League season; also under manager Harry Redknapp in 2009-10. They also equalled their club record of 11 consecutive home wins in the top division within the same season; also from December 1921 to April 1922. Victor Wanyama was originally named amongst the substitutes before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Josh Onomah took his place on the bench. Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It was 4-0 but we deserved more goals. The players spoke for me on the pitch and I am very proud of that performance. We're second and the gap now is four but Chelsea have one game more to play. We will try to be there if Chelsea fail."

Comments:

League position: 10th Watford had now won only one of their last 11 away games in the Premier league games (lost eight). The Hornets failed in their attempt to win three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2015. Adrian Mariappa started a Premier League game for Watford in this game for the first time since 13 May 2007 versus Newcastle United. Watford manager Walter Mazzarri said: "We started really well and were playing at the same level as Tottenham, who are a phenomenal side. But it was really difficult after the three goals, that cut our legs."
