Tottenham Hotspur made it three 1-0 wins on the trot in the Premier League after Son Heung-min's fortuitous free-kick sealed victory at home to Watford.

On his 200th league appearance, the South Korean saw his inswinging free-kick deceive Hornets goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann and bounce straight into the net.

The result means Nuno Espirito Santo's side will top the table heading into September's international break, while Watford are 12th.

Harry Kane was again in the Spurs starting line-up after scoring twice in the Europe Conference League win over Pacos de Ferreira on Thursday, but never really looked like repeating the trick here. The 28-year-old, though, was given a raucous reception by the home fans.

The England striker was denied a certain goal in the second half when Watford defender William Troost-Ekong got a toe on a Lucus Moura cross to divert the ball out of Kane's path. Bachmann also produced a decent stop to prevent Kane from scoring.

Ismaila Sarr was always a threat for Watford — and was on the receiving end of numerous meaty challenged from Spurs players — but the newly-promoted side failed to really trouble Hugo Lloris in the home goal.

UK's plans to cut net migration

Under the UK government’s proposals, migrants will have to spend 10 years in the UK before being able to apply for citizenship.

Skilled worker visas will require a university degree, and there will be tighter restrictions on recruitment for jobs with skills shortages.

But what are described as "high-contributing" individuals such as doctors and nurses could be fast-tracked through the system.

Language requirements will be increased for all immigration routes to ensure a higher level of English.

Rules will also be laid out for adult dependants, meaning they will have to demonstrate a basic understanding of the language.

The plans also call for stricter tests for colleges and universities offering places to foreign students and a reduction in the time graduates can remain in the UK after their studies from two years to 18 months.
