Dele Alli and Harry Kane scored the goals as we moved on from last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final loss against United at the same venue to secure a hard-earned victory against a Watford side that created chances but couldn’t beat Hugo Lloris.
The result didn’t just restore our five-point gap ahead of fifth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League, it also moved us to within a point of Liverpool in third with a game in hand on the Reds.
We now know if we manage to win our final three matches - away to West Brom on Saturday (3pm) followed by Newcastle (9 May, 8pm) and Leicester City (13 May, 3pm) at Wembley - we’ll finish at least third.
