Tottenham 2 Watford 2 (4-2 on pens): Alli wins it after Capoue goes from hero to zero

Tottenham needed a penalty shoot-out to beat Watford and progress into round four of the EFL Cup, in a tie that finished 2-2.

Etienne Capoue went from hero to zero as Tottenham had to rely on a shoot-out victory after a thrilling EFL Cup tie against 10-man Watford finished 2-2 amid dramatic late scenes, with Dele Alli scoring the winning spot-kick.

Former Tottenham midfielder Capoue scored with a last-gasp effort after late goals from Alli and Erik Lamela had seemingly put Tottenham through in normal time.

But the midfielder could not find the target from the spot, sending a tame effort straight at Paulo Gazzaniga, who then saved from Domingos Quina.
