Spurs 0-1 Watford
Are Spurs heading towards their fifth defeat in six games (including penalties)?
Are Watford heading towards a first Premier League win of the season?
Spurs 0-1 Watford
A lot of you on Twitter seem to agree with me that it should have been a Watford penalty.
Does the Premier League need to change its VAR interpretation where there needs to be a really high bar for overturning a decision?
I think so. What's the point of having video technology if you end up making the wrong decision half the time.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
There are some boos from Spurs fans as the half-time whistle goes.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Watford have a throw-in as we close in on half-time. Again, no rush from the Hornets.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Spurs are trying and failing to get the ball into the box. They're overcomplicating everything and Serge Aurier just runs the ball out of play.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen leaves his arm in the face of goalscorer Abdoulaye Doucoure.
The referee lets play go on initially but then stops it because it's a head injury. Although to be honest there was barely any contact or injury.

Watford have pace on the counter but Gerard Deulofeu's pass to Roberto Pereyra is cut out.
Spurs 0-1 Watford

Watford keeper Ben Foster is out of his box to head clear, but the offside flag had already gone up against Lucas Moura.
And now he takes his time to boot his free-kick clear.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Spurs' fourth attempt of the half as Toby Alderweireld crosses and Lucas Moura heads over. A half-chance at best.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
The VAR team have a look and - surprise, surprise - don't change the referee's decision.
That really could have been a penalty. Lucky escape for Spurs.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Watford want a penalty. Gerard Deulofeu bursts into the box and goes past the sliding Jan Vertonghen. He goes over the defender's foot and goes down.
The referee says no.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster is definitely going to get booked for timewasting in this game. He takes an age over the goal-kick.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
A decent spell of Spurs possession and Watford just hack it clear. A huge roar from the home fans, but now Serge Aurier fails to keep in a Harry Kane cross.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
A few of Spurs' subs, including Son Heung-min, are warming up already. Mauricio Pochettino made seven changes today - only two were enforced.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
The crowd roar as space opens up for Dele Alli with Daryl Janmaat further up the pitch. But this is a team short on confidence and Alli tries to find a team-mate, with Harry Winks failing to shoot.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Spurs need to sort their crossing out. Serge Aurier's latest attempt is easily cleared. Not that the hosts are having much success through the centre either.
Spurs 0-1 Watford
Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster has just done almost a Cruyff turn* on the ball to lose a Spurs striker. The away fans enjoyed that one.
* it was just a regular turn
