Tottenham’s stunning form under Conte continued with a 1-0 victory at Vicarage Road over struggling Watford, who suffered their sixth consecutive defeat.
Spurs were even troubled on the counter by the Hornets’ improved aggressive style after the interval, but they still sit fifth in the table thanks to their first-half dominance.
Son’s late free-kick put the ball on a plate for Sanchez’s winner, but it required a rare moment of excellence to eventually unlock the door.

Watford’s second-half performance may have given them some hope, but they remain way too close to the drop zone as the Premier League takes a break for the FA Cup third round.
Spurs, however, must carry this confidence into three consecutive cup ties over the next fortnight in order to win some elusive silverware under their highly decorated new coach.
Its now eight Premier League games without defeat for the Antonio Conte side.
