Two goals by Son Heung-min helped Tottenham Hotspur thrash
Watford 4-0 to close the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea to four points
in Saturday’s early game.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that after Dele
Alli’s majestic curler broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute in the sunshine at
White Hart Lane, an 11th consecutive home league win never looked in doubt.
Eric Dier made it 2-0 six minutes later before Son added a
third with a low shot just before halftime.
After half-time it was pretty much the same story, with
Watford only threatening in isolated moments through Nigeria’s attacking duo of
Isaac Success and Stefano Chuka.
Son further confirmed Spurs’ dominance by meeting Kieran
Trippier’s perfect cross with a lovely half-volley at the far post to grab his
brace in the 54th minute as the hosts cruised through to full-time.
Harry Kane, returning as a second-half substitute, struck
the bar with an injury-time free-kick – the last kick of the game – and Son
might have sealed his hat-trick from his earlier pass.
Second-placed Tottenham’s sixth successive league victory
took them to 68 points from 31 games.
Mauricio Pocehttino’s side are now four points behind
Chelsea, who play at Bournemouth later on Saturday.
They are also 14 points clear of fifth-placed Arsenal, who
have two games in hand and play at Crystal Palace on Monday.
