Ighalo Scores Again In Watford Defeat To Tottenham

1 Min Read

Son Heung-Min scored a dramatic late winner as Tottenham moved up to third in the Premier League with victory over 10-man Watford.

Erik Lamela put the visitors in front when he stroked in a shot after Dele Alli dispossessed Craig Cathcart.

Odion Ighalo equalised when his determination helped him beat Eric Dier and poke home.

Nathan Ake was sent off for a challenge on Lamela before Son scored with a deft flick from Kieran Trippier’s cross.
Relive Tottenham’s win at Watford

Tottenham had struggled to make the most of their numerical advantage following Ake’s dismissal on 63 minutes.

Indeed Watford looked the more likely goalscorers in the closing stages as they earned a succession of corners and could have taken the lead themselves.

Ben Watson’s corner almost crept in before keeper Hugo Lloris fended the ball away, with goalline technology showing the ball was only inches away from going in.

Moments later, Spurs scored the winner. Trippier’s crosses from the right had caused the hosts problems throughout and it was his delivery that led to Son’s clincher.

There was a suggestion of offside in the build-up to the goal, but referee Anthony Taylor allowed it to stand.
