Tottenham Hotspur managed to beat Watford 1-0 on the third matchday of the 2021-2022 Premier League on Sunday (29/8/2021) night WIB. Thanks to this victory, Tottenham are now at the top of the Premier League standings.

Tottenham clearly have to thank their flagship winger, namely Son Heung-min. Thanks to the only goal created by Son, Tottenham were able to win from Watford.

The team nicknamed The Lilywhites has so far been the only team that has been able to beat the first three games of the 2021-2022 Premier League with a win. Surely it was a very good start for Nuno Espirito Santo's squad.

Tottenham started the match at home with ferocity, where in the first minute they were able to attack immediately. Even Harry Kane almost got a penalty for falling in the forbidden box.

However, the referee ignored Kane's cries for a penalty. The game continues and Tottenham are still in control of the game.

Chances after chances were created by the home team. But Tottenham could only score in the 42nd minute. Son had a superb free-kick into the box from the left.

At first Son intended to kick off with the intention of passing, but no one touched the ball. The Watford goalkeeper, was fooled and failed to ward off the ball that flew into the right corner of the goal. Bachmann reacted too late and couldn't stop him.

Son's goal then became the only one created in the match. In the second half, both Watford and Tottenham attempted to score. However, in the 45 minutes remaining, both teams struggled to score.
