Watford 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur: Heung-Min Son snatches late win

Substitute Heung-Min Son struck a dramatic late winner to give Tottenham a 2-1 victory over 10-man Watford at Vicarage Road. 

The visitors set up to counter attack and it paid off in the 17th minute as Erik Lamela side-footed past Heurelho Gomes.
Watford equalised just before the break when Odion Ighalo scrapped his way past Eric Dier and poked home his 30th goal of 2015 - more than any other player in England's top four divisions. 
But the Hornets went a man down on 63 minutes when Nathan Ake was shown a straight red card for a high tackle on Lamela, and Son flicked an audacious back-heel inside the near post on 89 minutes to secure a third straight win for Spurs.
With Watford having won their last two home games, including a 3-0 defeat of Liverpool, Spurs head coach Pochettino set his side up to hit them on the break with a 3-4-3 formation.

Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose started as wing-backs as two of three changes, with Tom Carroll coming into midfield and Eric Dier slotting in at centre-back, while Watford brought in Ake and Ikechi Anya. 
Spurs' shape frustrated the Hornets in the first half and opened up space for the likes of Dele Alli, who robbed Craig Cathcart of the ball for Lamela to break and slot past former Spurs 'keeper Gomes.
