Tottenham 2-0 Watford: Alli and Kane strikes helps Spurs go five points clear of Chelsea

Tottenham gave their hopes of securing Champions League football for next season an almighty boost as goals from Dele Alli and Harry Kane handed them a routine 2-0 win over Watford at Wembley.

It was a game that Spurs dare not lose after Chelsea closed the gap on fourth place to two points over the weekend, but in truth, the home side barely broke sweat.

Watford gifted Mauricio Pochettino's men the lead on 16 minutes when Orestis Karnezis fumbled Kieran Trippier's searching cross which saw Christian Eriksen swipe the ball away from the keeper and Alli gratefully gobbled up the chance.
