Harry Kane and Dele Alli helped themselves to two goals a piece as Tottenham thrashed Watford 4-1 to climb into the Premier League’s top four.
Jamie Carragher says Tottenham are better than last season, but their title hopes might be over if they fail to beat Chelsea on Wednesday.
“Chelsea arrive in very good shape but us too after [the last] few games”. We will try to get some players in as soon as possible but the transfer market in January is always very hard.
Watford 1-2 Tottenham: Spurs were back in form during the 4-1 win at Southampton last time out and I think they’ll be confident of getting another vital three points against Watford as they’ve never lost a Premier League game to the Hornets.
Tottenham is seeking a route back into the Champions League next season, through a top-four finish, after being eliminated in the group stage on its return to the competition after a five-year absence.
No rest for the English clubs, tomorrow they continue to play, and we will be watching. I think it was one of the best performances so far. “Watford started the game really quick and made it hard for us but, after we got the first goal, it was a pretty comfortable win in the end”.
The England striker, who scored once and missed a penalty in the 4-1 victory over Southampton in midweek, has now bagged 59 goals in 100 Premier League games and 10 in his last 11.
Pochettino said he was “very pleased, very elated with the performance”.
Asked how big the game against the Blues will be, Kane said: “It’s massive”.
“I wanted to get it, but the most important thing is the result“.
“The moment was right when we signed him, and it was a very important deal for Tottenham“.
A rare Watford attack saw Troy Deeney flick a header into Odion Ighalo’s path, but the Nigerian couldn’t make the most of the position, firing high and wide.
Chelsea’s winning run has come since they switched to a back three and Pochettino could go like-for-like again, just as he did at Stamford Bridge in November.
“I also want to thank the fans, our fans because home and away they have always supported us”.
Trippier completed all 90 minutes and Kane was happy to see the full-back put in a strong case to play week in, week out under Mauricio Pochettino.
