Tottenham’s decision to stage this tie in Milton Keynes may not have been popular but the makeshift hosts sure delivered drama. Their trip looked to be heading for failure when Isaac Success fired Watford into the lead early in the second half but Spurs turned that round through a late penalty by Dele Alli and a counter-attacking goal by Érik Lamela. There was still time for the former Spurs midfielder Étienne Capoue to increase the suspense by equalising for Watford in the last minute.But in the shootout Capoue’s effort was saved by Paulo Gazzaniga, who also foiled Domingos Quina’s effort. That left Alli, a Milton Keynes native, to fire in the decisive spot-kick for Spurs. Home, sweet home.
