Lamela did not quite strike the ball well enough and it was pretty easy to clear in the end.

Lamela did not quite strike the ball well enough and it was pretty easy to clear in the end.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham (12:30 GMT)
I mean, we're talking millimetres here. The overhead graphic shows just how close that ball was to crossing the line and it is ludicrously close. The finest of margins.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Inches away!
The ball is driven in low, causing bodies to fly in all over the shop. Lamela looks to have turned the ball towards an empty net, but with his first proper touch in English football Pussetto manages to clear it off the line.

It's been a flat game. I think Tottenham have been pretty passive in the second half. Watford had 15 minutes where they were on top but since the missed penalty, the game has plateaued. It's like we are still waiting for the game to start.

Dr David: Great result for @ManUtd so far. Will be 6pts clear of @SpursOfficial come Monday
Tom McQuillin: I’m starting to think that games like this aren’t Tottenham having a bad game... I think Tottenham are just bad.
Romain Braganza Fernandes: Would have subbed Alli in the 60th min. He's been awful today.. slow and lazy and yet arrogant upon being sub'ed!
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Erik Lamela's shooting boots are clearly back at home. He picks up the ball 25 yards from goal but curls his effort well wide.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Another debutant. Sarr is off and on comes Ignacio Pussetto.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Sarr is down and looks in trouble. Could be a hamstring injury. In which case, it's a big blow to the Hornets.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Now that was a hit. Capoue comes charging from midfield to absolutely whack an effort that doesn't reach Gazzaniga thanks to a block on the edge of the box.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Erik Lamela wriggles in around the back of the Watford defence down the left, but instead of crossing he opts to shoot and slices wide. Wasteful.

Tottenham have struggled to get out of their own half this last 10 minutes or so but Watford have not tested Gazzaniga since missing that penalty.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Eriksen almost conjures something up, but while his cross into the box finds Son, the forward is offside.

David Kalev: 2 points against Watford this season says it all. Hopefully we hold on today. Hopeless from day 1.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Fernandes' first real touch is a positive one as he ghosts into the box to collect a pass as Spurs break. His low cross is inviting but nobody else in a Spurs shirt can react to get on to it.

Dave Bailey Comedian: How do you get the momentum 2 slide without moving your arms? @ what point does that movement become unnatural? Honestly confused by footie now

Alli's been taken off, best decision Mourinho has made since taking over. What exactly does Alli ever do?
Matt, Bedford
I don't think Mourinho was a mistake, he is trying to sort out a team suffering from low morale and confidence, which started when Pochettino said he would leave if they won the Champions League.

Roberto Pereyra is on for Nathaniel Chalobah for Watford.
And we get our first look at Gedson Fernandes in a Spurs shirt. He replaces Lo Celso.
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Deulofeu across the field to Sarr, who takes a touch and then blazes a shot over. Cue more changes...
Watford 0-0 Tottenham
Spurs have offered less and less going forward as this half has gone on.
Watford looking the more likely to get that winner. Won't get a better chance than the one they've already had from the spot though.

Rayan Mount: Deeney could not hit a barn door with a banjo. Awful.
Bob Moss: Terrible penalty. Easy save for the keeper.
