Just 2 minutes after the game started, Watford made a threat, Dennis burst into the box with the ball, facing the multi-person bag, he still shook the angle to complete the shot, but the kick was too right, Lowry easily held the ball. Tottenham hot and slow, playing for 15 minutes to gradually find the rhythm of attack, the opportunities created gradually increased.

In the 26th minute, Reguilon also attempted a long-range shot after receiving the ball in front of the penalty area, the ball flew to the right side of the goal, and the goalkeeper flew to save the ball. Four minutes later, Watford's pass at the back was wrong, and after being snatched, Harry Kane had a very good chance, and he shot low from the front of the box with no one watching, and the ball was slightly off the right upright. It is a pity that such an opportunity was not seized. At half-time, the score was still 0-0! Spurs had 73 percent possession in the first half, with eight shots on goal and three on target, failing to score. Watford, on the other hand, had only 2 shots on goal in the first half, all of which were on target and failed to score.
The second half was easy to fight again. In the 50th minute, Lucas Jr. observed the opponent's position after receiving the ball outside the box, and then chose to take two steps forward to shoot from a long distance, but the kick was too correct and the goalkeeper did not make any movement to take the ball down. Two minutes later, Harry Kane forced a turn to dribble sideways and shoot from a distance with his back to the edge of the penalty area, and the goalkeeper was very focused and lifted the ball off the crossbar. Watford then created a very good chance, Joshua King shot from outside the perimeter, Lowry flew into the palm of his hand and saved the ball, the ball slightly off the right upright and out of the bottom line. Lowry's save was crucial, saving Spurs.
In the 60th minute, Hoybel's shot was blocked in front of goal. Pedro then burst in with the ball, and Skip kept pulling to stop him, which gave Skip a yellow card. Watford were awarded a set-piece opportunity at the edge of the penalty area, and Pedro took the penalty, which flew away. In the 70th minute, Emerson volleyed in the right side of the penalty area, and Son Heung-min in the middle of the road tried to rub the ball into the goal, but he failed to rub it in place, and the ball was deflected out of the goal. Two minutes later, Son Heung-min volleyed in from inside the penalty area and goalkeeper Shen Yong saved the ball. Sun Xingyu held his head and couldn't believe that such a high-quality shot had been defused, too anti-heavenly. In the 96th minute, Son Heung-min opened a free kick and Sanchez headed in front of the goal to complete the kill! Conte roared in celebration. In the end, Spurs 1-0 Watford.
