Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Tottenham's 4-0 win against Watford?

3.575 - 16.832 Unknown

Spurs irresistible today, 4-0 winners against Watford. Son at his very best. Two more goals for him here, making it 4-3. Trippier was on Son as well. He ended that man of the match, and the two of them now, with Greg Whelan.

0

18.995 - 24.201 Simon Thomas

Guys, once again, well done. Kieran, was that the perfect way to round off what's been a very successful week's work?

0

Chapter 2: How did Heung-Min Son perform in the match?

24.482 - 32.552 Kieran Trippier

Yeah, of course, and you know it was going to be a tough game, but we all dug in and, like I say, we got a good three points in the clean sheet.

0

33.815 - 39.844 Simon Thomas

Son, that's double figures for you now, isn't it? How pleased were you to reach that landmark, to get that amount of goals this season?

0

40.165 - 54.928 Heung-min Son

Yeah, I think I'm really proud for the teammates because they helped me so a lot. I think two goals was important also, but I think this game was three points important, the game, I think. Actually, we are really happy to get three points here.

0

55.617 - 61.305 Simon Thomas

Terrific second goal for you, the fourth goal in the game, but what credit does the man alongside you deserve for his part in it?

0

61.325 - 74.343 Heung-min Son

I think for me it was not so difficult to score because the cross from my friend was unbelievable and I'm really thankful for Kieran to score.

75.044 - 81.313 Simon Thomas

Kieran, you've had to be patient this season, you've had to wait for your chances to start. How pleased were you with your contribution out there this afternoon?

81.734 - 93.89 Kieran Trippier

Yeah, I try and do my best every opportunity I get, you know. Obviously, I've got to give a lot of credit to Walks because he's been doing brilliant this season and for England. So, yeah, obviously, I've got to keep working hard on the training ground and keep impressing the manager.

93.91 - 97.655 Kieran Trippier

And obviously, when the chances come like this, I've got to try and make sure I take them for myself and for the team.

98.316 - 103.883 Simon Thomas

Great afternoon for yourself also, Son, with those two goals. But in your own mind, should it have been three today?

Chapter 3: What role did Kieran Trippier play in the victory?

257.797 - 277.889 Graeme Souness

Ericsson makes room for the ball on the outside of him by taking that ball into his left. And this delivery is sensational. And Kieran, all day, his delivery was spot on. I mean, that's perfectly weighted. But as a full-back or a wing-back... You know, he's entitled just to be a supporting player there, but he's not. He wants to make the difference. He wants to be the one delivering that pass.

0

278.17 - 283.905 Graeme Souness

Because he knows he's got quality. And Son, which was a hard finish meeting on the half volley like that.

0

284.257 - 287.14 Unknown

He should have, as he said, he should have had a hat-trick that song, shouldn't he?

0

287.16 - 298.833 Graeme Souness

He opens his body out as if, you know, I know what I'm doing here. And I think maybe his intention was to go to the goalkeeper's right. But because the two defenders get back into the picture, maybe he's had to go down that side.

0

299.014 - 309.285 Niall Quinn

This was the one. What a ball this is from Trivia. I think Trivia's put in three or four wonderful balls today. I think that's right up at the top. That opens up everything. And he does really well turning and taking it first time. It's an inch or two too high. What a great ball.

309.265 - 327.708 Graeme Souness

For me, he does two in the first half where he plays on first half. He plays the ball early. It's touch, and he's got that picture on his head, but he's also got the technique to deliver on that picture. It was a touch and a beautifully weighted pass into Son. But he's your modern-day wing-back. I mean, the only thing you would say that's... Slightly suspect.

327.728 - 344.318 Graeme Souness

He hasn't got the size to defend a VAR post, and ultimately he will be called on to do that. But in terms of going forward, he's got outstanding quality. You see him here when he gets one-on-one with people. He stands his ground. He doesn't go to the ground too readily. He's reading things. I thought he was fabulous today, and that's why I think Alan...

344.298 - 346.721 Graeme Souness

There's everything still given the man of the match. So difficult, though.

347.422 - 364.343 Niall Quinn

He's running from deep. He did two of these within two minutes, just straight over the full-back's head, but he's running from really deep. He sees it, he wants it, and he's making the mind up for the delivery of the ball, stays onside, and he's just, as Graeme said, putting it in first time. Jansen couldn't benefit from those two wonderful crosses, but there you see him on the defending side.

Chapter 4: How did the team maintain their performance throughout the match?

374.077 - 383.651 Graeme Souness

I think Harry's pushed there. At the time, I thought he was pushed, but he wasn't. But that's what a striker wants. You know, he makes a move and he wants it early. And he must be a dream to play with if you're a striker.

0

383.671 - 393.786 Unknown

Here's a question for you, because he is struggling for regular football here, simply because Kyle Walker ahead of him is so, so good. Great attitude today. Is there any other top six side that he could go to where he would play regular football?

0

393.806 - 407.967 Graeme Souness

Is he good enough? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He would definitely get in Man Utd's team. He would definitely get in City's team, in my opinion. I think he's got outstanding qualities. You know, the priority for a full-back today is not to defend. It's about what damage you can do in the last third when you're attacking.

0

408.287 - 421.707 Graeme Souness

And he's got as much quality going forward as any full-back out there in the Premier League right now. The one area he would be suspect at... If I was playing against him, I'd say, see if you can get him isolated. See if you can get one against one on the far post for them. But...

0

421.687 - 437.907 Unknown

In terms of going forward, in terms of his use of the ball, he's as good as anyone.

440.266 - 445.82 Simon Thomas

Maurizio, congratulations, another very comprehensive home win. What pleased you most about what you saw today?

446.742 - 473.85 Mauricio Pochettino

Oh, wow, many things, because I think we played really well. We played with very good energy, Very clear in the way that we tried to beat Watford. I think the team deserves full credit because the energy and the way that we played was fantastic. 4-0, but I think we deserve some more goals.

473.87 - 484.465 Mauricio Pochettino

But you cannot say nothing more than only they talked for us on the pitch and we are very pleased and very proud of that performance.

484.664 - 489.969 Simon Thomas

How important was it that your team showed patience early on? Because Watford started this game well.
