76 mins: Spurs still pressing high up for every ball, as Son charges down a Gomes clearance. Terrific energy from the visitors even at this late stage. Son blazes another shot over the bar - he's has some chances today.
77 mins: Off comes Kane - with another two goals to add to his tally - as he is replaced by Vincent Janssen.
Ozil out
Team news to come from the Emirates very shortly - and there's no Mesut Ozil for Arsenal against Crystal Palace.
Mesut Ozil is ill, according to reports, though that has not been confirmed.
83 mins: Spurs seeing out the final 10 minutes at Vicarage Road. Dier shoots on the turn from the edge of the area but it's high over the crossbar.
85 mins: Kaboul gets in behind the Spurs defence but can only volley the ball straight into Lloris's hands. Just about Watford's only effort of the second half.
