Son was spectacular for Tottenham

Tottenham headed into today’s matchup against Watford with the full knowledge that they needed all three points. Otherwise, they’d let all the pressure off Chelsea. Fortunately for Spurs fans, the squad responded with a resounding 4-0 victory.

It was exactly what the doctor ordered for Mauricio Pochettino’s squad. Tottenham struggled to break Watford down for the first 15 minutes or so, but then the floodgates opened. The Hornets were fortunate they didn’t concede more than four times.

The majority of the accolades will go to Son Heung-Min, and he certainly deserves the plaudits. He scored twice on the afternoon and was justifiably disappointed not to register his first Premier League hat trick. Still, he had lots of company. It’s hard to find much wrong with any Spurs player’s performance in the match.

Of course, some players always play better than others. Read on to discover which Tottenham stars deserve the most praise after today’s demolition of Watford.
