Tottenham go into the international break top of the Premier League after Heung-min Son’s goal handed them a 1-0 home win over Watford.
There were early chances for both sides, but the game was in threat of becoming deadlocked before Son came to the rescue on his 200th Premier League appearance, curling in a wicked free-kick cross that bamboozled the Watford defence and goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann (42), finding the far corner.
But Spurs were never completely comfortable as both Juraj Kucka and Ismaila Sarr missed opportunities for Watford, though Dele Alli swept a fine chance wide at the other end in the second half and Harry Kane missed two late openings on his first Premier League appearance of the season.
It was a third straight 1-0 win for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side as they upheld their 100 per cent Premier League record – though the Spurs boss said after the game “nothing is perfect, we’re still trying to improve” – while newly-promoted Watford sit 12th with three points.
