Don't give this lad a yard.

Dele Alli continues to improve, and only had one thing on his mind as he stepped away from Nordin Amrabat in the 33rd minute of Tottenham Hotspur's visit from Watford on Saturday.

Despite having 25 yards to stretch and sprawl towards his top corner, Heurelho Gomes was miles off.

By half-time, ruthless finishes from both Eric Dier and Heung-Min Son had Spurs 3-0 ahead.

Mauricio Pochettino's side could only add one more goal in the second stanza - another from Son - but dominated the visitor throughout with two late cracks off the woodwork from Son and Harry Kane, the latter of whom made his return from an ankle injury.
