Tottenham Hotspur Vs Watford
Tottenham Hotspur beat Watford 2-0

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino praised his side's "massive" win as they beat Watford to move closer to securing qualification for next season's Champions League.

Goals from Dele Alli (16th minute)and Harry Kane(48th minute) gave fourth-placed Spurs a scrappy victory at Wembley Stadium that took them five points clear of Chelsea with only three matches to play

  • Tottenham have scored in each of their past 23 Premier League games, their longest scoring run in the top flight since April 1987 (26 games).
  • Watford have gone seven Premier League away games without scoring (drew one, lost six), since Andre Gray found the net against Manchester City on 2 January.
  • Harry Kane made his 150th appearance in the Premier League. In those games Kane has netted 105 goals; only Alan Shearer managed more in his first 150 in the competition (121).
  • Christian Eriksen has been directly involved in nine goals in his past eight games in all competitions (five goals, four assists).
  • Eriksen (10 goals, 10 assists) is the third Spurs player to register 10-plus goals and 10-plus assists in a single Premier League season, after Jurgen Klinsmann in 1994-95 and Emmanuel Adebayor in 2011-12.
  • Dele Alli has been involved in seven goals in his past seven games for Spurs in all competitions (five goals, two assists).
  • Watford are the only side to have more than one goalkeeper make an error leading to goal this season in the Premier League (two each for Heurelho Gomes and Orestis Karnezis).
  • Kieran Trippier has notched one goal and five assists in his six top-flight appearances against Watford.
