Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Vicarage Road Stadium that hosts another battle between Watford FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC.
  • 5' Watford FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Tottenham Hotspur FC backline.
  • 10' Watford FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' Dele Alli has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 19' A moment of madness from Japhet Tanganga on 19 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Tottenham Hotspur FC will be frustrated.
  • 24' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gerard Deulofeu, as he is very good at scoring at Vicarage Road Stadium with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
  • 29' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 34' Watford FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 35' The referee calls foul for Etienne Capoue. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. José Mourinho will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 50' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Adrian Mariappa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Watford FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Harry Winks on 60.
  • 65' Tottenham Hotspur FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 69' A moment of madness from Jan Vertonghen on 69 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Tottenham Hotspur FC will be frustrated.
  • 73' Christian Eriksen is replacing Dele Alli for the Tottenham Hotspur FC side.
  • 78' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 79' Another substitution for Watford FC to replace Nathaniel Chalobah by Roberto Pereyra on 79 minute.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Gedson. He replaces Giovani Lo Celso on 80 minute.
  • 85' Tottenham Hotspur FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 89' A change in the Watford FC ranks — Ismaila Sarr exits the field as Ignacio Pussetto enters on 89.
  • The final score is 0-0.
