Tottenham had Paulo Gazzaniga to thank for denying Troy Deeney from 12 yards as they escaped Vicarage Road with a point following a goalless draw on Saturday afternoon.
Spurs marked their fourth Premier League game without a victory, with Jose Mourinho’s side now winless in the top flight since beating Brighton on December 26.

After both teams wasted chances to score early in the second half, Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen gifted Watford a penalty when he deflected a shot from Troy Deeney with his arm while sliding in to block.
