Christian Eriksen found space on the right and measured a perfect low pass to the far post for the recalled Son to tap home. Richarlison had seen his appeal for a penalty waved away moments before the equaliser, which proved to be the final real action of a tightly-contested first half.  The contest turned on its head when Sanchez was shown a straight red just seven minutes after the restart, the defender adjudged to have caught Richarlison with an elbow to the face.And the Hornets came within inches of making their advantage count when Doucoure's superb curling effort from distance struck the inside of the right post and somehow stayed out. Heurelho Gomes needed treatment after appearing to collide with team-mate Adrian Mariappa and the break in play allowed Mauricio Pochettino's men to regain a foothold. Moussa Sissoko next threatened on the counter-attack soon after being introduced in place of Eriksen, although the midfielder's miscued attempt proved to be the closest they came to a winner. Watford, meanwhile, were restricted to shots from outside the area and were unable to sufficiently stretch the visitors' defence, as they failed to claim what would have been a first win in this fixture since the 1986-87 season.</blockquote>
