Tottenham remain adrift of the
Champions League places and Watford continue their ascent away from the drop zone despite Troy Deeney’s saved penalty, after a match that was edged by the hosts but undermined by poor finishing ended in stalemate.
Deeney’s spot-kick, saved by Paulo Gazzaniga, came amid a flurry of second-half Watford chances, while
Tottenham could have won it late on only for Érik Lamela to see a poked effort cleared off the line in stoppage time. There were standout performances from Nathaniel Chalobah and Ismaïla Sarr, while Christian Eriksen emerged from the bench on the second for what could be his last performance in a Spurs shirt.
