Davinson Sánchez sent off but 10-man Tottenham earn a point at Watford

What conclusions should be drawn from this bracing encounter between two teams determined to give no quarter? Was it two points dropped for Spurs as their run without a Premier League win extended to four matches? Or was it a point earned, after being forced to play most of the second half with 10 men? For Watford, should they have taken greater advantage of the dismissal of Davinson Sánchez in the 52nd minute? Or had they proven they can go toe to toe with the big teams and compete?In the end the managers were inclined to take a positive approach. Watford’s Marco Silva was proud of the performance and was aggrieved not have been awarded penalties in two contentious incidents. Meanwhile, his Tottenham counterpart, Mauricio Pochettino, was almost serene, singing the praises of his team for the way they kept attacking and insisting their current run is character forming.
