Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season preparations came to an end on Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 defeat at Watford.
Spurs had won three home games in pre-season, beating Ipswich Town, Reading and Birmingham City before heading to Vicarage Road.
With many players away on international duty, this was far from a full-strength Spurs side, and it showed in a disappointing defeat.
Domingos Quina fired a long-range opener past Joe Hart, before Andre Gray added a second from the spot to give the Hornets the win.
Son Heung-min scored a penalty of his own to pull one back for Tottenham, but Jose Mourinho tasted defeat in the final game before Spurs take on Everton next weekend.
This game saw Tanguy Ndombele make his first appearance of pre-season as he looks to build up his fitness, but it was his midfield partner who caught the eye.
18-year-old Harvey White started alongside Ndombele, and turned in a strong performance that left Tottenham fans hugely impressed.
Some called White the most impressive player in a Spurs shirt and much better than Ndombele, backing him to become a ‘special player’ if he carries on developing.
