Pochettino: Star man Harry Kane is Tottenham's Lionel Messi

A ideal day for Spurs took another positive turn when Mauricio Pochettino gave the fit-again Kane 30 minutes of action at the end of the match, and the striker had the chance to mark his return with a goal 10 minutes after his introduction when he latched on to a pass from Trippier and rounded the keeper, only to see his tame finish cleared by the defence.

Watford, which rested captain Troy Deeney and was playing a patched-up defense, has not beaten Tottenham in a league match at White Hart Lane since November 1985.

"Our challenge two-and-a-half years ago when we arrived at Tottenham was to close the gap to the top four".

And Tottenham's Argentinian boss believes Kane is now as integral a part of the starting XI at White Hart Lane as the talismanic Messi at the Nou Camp.

"If you don't show a strong mentality in 24, 25 players then you will not be able to rotate and give opportunities to others and they don't feel like an important part of the project, then it is so hard to win titles".

"But the good news is he's back. But there's a really good feel about the club at the moment". "No, if I see him we'll have a good chat about the game and about different things".

Pence said after the meeting that Trump believes it is in America's interest to negotiate economic deals on a bilateral basis. The Trump administration is hoping that China will help rein in North Korea in exchange for other considerations.

"If you don't show a strong mentality, in 25 players, you're not going to be able to rotate, give opportunities to others, to feel important to the project. All we can do is win games, be better every day and be there if Chelsea fail". But the good news is he's back. That's one of my main attributes and I try to do my best and get into those positions where I can feed them into the strikers and try to create as many goals as I can.

We know what he means to the team. "He's always desperate to play, he's always pushing you to try to let him train, play, and score goals". "His character is unbelievable".

Pochettino said he had no concerns about the prospect of third-choice goalkeeper Pau Lopez's possible senior debut.

The second followed soon after and it was Dier who was on hand to convert from the edge of the box for his second goal in three games, having previously gone all season without scoring.

He said: "I can understand, it's true that when a team are seven points above the second team in the table, it is normal for that team to win the league".
