This was a chastening experience for an injury ravaged Watford side, who will be grateful that Tottenham chose to conserve energy instead of striving to deliver an even more lop-sided scoreline than the eventual 4-1 win. The visitors would swat the hapless Hornets aside without ever needing to get out of second gear.
Positives
A debut substitute appearance from academy graduate Brandon Mason was cause for some cheer but the fact that Spurs only scored four goals, when double that figure was easily in their reach, is the only other positive to take from a dismal afternoon at Vicarage Road.
