I was listening to this on Sirius while driving up to UConn.  0-0 at the half, then Spurs took a 0-1 lead.  Shocked to learn Watford (Elton John once owner, now Honorary) pulled it out 2-1.  Watford now a 100% record after 4 matches, stunning.  Top 4 now ( not in order) - Liverpool, Chelsea, City, and.......Watford?

Watford had a soft schedule up to this point, Spurs being the first top 4 club that they've played this year. I wouldn't have been surprised by a tie but a win like this might mean something for the kind of season they might have. (Not thinking that they're this year's Leicester of course... not yet anyway.)
