43 mins: Spurs are so dominant it's untrue and Vicarage Road is very, very quiet. Watford are playing like a relegation side here.
HALF-TIME
Spurs in total control, led by the irrepressible Harry Kane, who has scored twice with two excellent finishes. Alli's third just before half-time has surely killed off any thoughts of a Watford comeback.
GOAL - Alli again
That really is game over and it's another disaster for Watford. Kane picks out Alli inside the box and he has far too much time and space to poke the ball past Gomes. Tottenham's fourth comes 58 seconds into the second half. Kane and Alli are now both on hat-tricks.
50 mins: That sums up Watford's day. Guedioura attempts to cross into the box and manages only to thump the ball straight out of play. Watford would probably take the full-time whistle right now. They must endure another 40 minutes.
