After a tepid first half, Tottenham were gifted the lead when Abdoulaye Doucoure scored an own goal in the 53rd minute, deflecting the ball in with his chest. Watford responded well and were level in the 69th minute after Troy Deeney headed home Jose Holebas's free kick. Harry Kane wasted a good headed chance from Kieran Trippier's cross as Tottenham tried to salvage something but Watford claimed their first league win over Spurs since 1987. "I think we have played better in other games but against Tottenham you have do things differently," Watford manager Javi Gracia said. I'm disappointed because we need to do more and play much much better," manager Mauricio Pochettino said.
