The match started on a bright note with Watford pressing high and forcing a couple of saves from Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. When play was stopped in the tenth minute due to an injury concern for left-back Mesina, Danny Rose appeared to prepare for a substitution.

There is a break in play due to a medical emergency in the crowd.

Both teams have left the field.

However, the referee proceeded to have a word with both club captains Cesar Azpilicueta and Moussa Sissoko regarding the situation. The players subsequently left the field with the stadium speakers blaring the announcement of the medical emergency.

Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso was the player who apparently brought the situation in attention to the match officials. Moreover, CPR is also said to be in progress to the fan.

A similar situation had brewed up in a contest earlier this season between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur at St. James’ Park. Sergio Reguilon had alerted the match officials regarding a fan, who collapsed in the stands.

Tottenham Hotspur:

Tottenham Hotspur recently clinched a 1-0 win over Bruno Lage’s Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last outing. A first-half penalty from midfielder Dele Alli was enough to ensure the triumph for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

Tottenham Hotspur will be without Welsh centre-back Joe Rodon, while there are doubts over the availability of Argentine centre-back Cristian Romero. Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo will have a fully fit squad at his disposal apart from the aforementioned players.

Watford:

Speaking about Watford, on the other hand, they are fresh off defeating Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace in a 1-0 affair in the second round of the EFL Cup. A late second-half goal from striker Ashley Fletcher clinched an edgy victory for Xisco Munoz’s Watford.

Meanwhile, Watford manager Xisco Munoz could be unable to call upon the services of England international Nathaniel Chalobah, midfielder Domingos Quina, young Brazilian forward Joao Pedro, Spanish right-back Kiko Femenia and veteran Slovakian midfielder Juraj Kucka.

Waging Odds: Tottenham Hotspur (1.45) vs Watford  (8.00)  (Draw- 4.20)

Tottenham Hotspur are favourites and are priced at 1.45, meaning if you bet ₹100 on them and if they win the match, you’ll be making ₹145.

Watford are priced at 8.00 and are the underdogs. Betting ₹100 on them will earn you ₹290 if they come out as winners.

The odds for a draw are placed at 4.20. Betting ₹100 on it will earn you ₹420 if they come out as winners.

Prediction:

Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their new campaign under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo very well. Star striker Harry Kane has announced that he will be staying at the club this summer amid the speculations of his move to defending champions, Manchester City. This has certainly come upon as a boost to the team as well as the fans.

Watford have wisely made some great signings as of yet. Imran Louza, Juraj Kucka, Ashley Fletcher and Joshua King have been the newest additions to the squad. Manager Xisco Munoz will be eyeing to deliver on the field.

The two clubs last faced each other in 2020 in the Premier League, with the game ending in a 0-0 draw.

Tottenham Hotspur have looked good under their new boss, and Kane’s return will surely help them to get a win against Watford. A comfortable 2-0 win for Spurs is expected on Sunday.

HOMECOMING: Cristiano Ronaldo’s dream return to Manchester United

The Venezuelan footballer, who has been at Watford for the last 4 years didn’t enjoy the kind of success that he looked destined to in the earlier part of his career and had only made three competitive appearances for the Hornets, two in the FA Cup and the other in the EFL Cup.

But Peñaranda’s career seems to be in even deeper waters following the sensational video leak.

The party that may ruin a career-

Adalberto Peñaranda had started trending on July 29, after posting a series of intimate videos on his Instagram stories.

The videos that were originally published under the “best friends” option were leaked through the networks and shows a party with many women in underwear, and performing dances a little risque.

The youngster, who had joined Watford in 2016 following a transfer fee of £9.54m, had spent the majority of his career on loan in Italy at clubs like Udinese and La Liga clubs like Malaga and Granada. It was only in January last year that he made his debut for the Hornets.

Adalberto Peñaranda had earlier taken the world by storm in 2015 when he had become the youngest player in La Liga to score a brace in 2-1 win for Granada against Levante, breaking the record long held by Lionel Messi. It was an extraordinary start for a career that has since then struggled to reach it’s predicted zenith.

In the leaked video, four naked women are seen writhing on a bed. The camera pans behind one of the women, now in a g-string, as she gyrates wildly on the bed. Later the sordid group appears to be dancing under disco lights.

What’s next for Peñaranda-

Watford is expected to cut the ties from the youngster following the entire fiasco. Fans of the club are expectedly devastated following the incident.

“This video is a disgrace from a millionaire footballer who should know better.”

“The club cannot be associated with this kind of behavior, and there was no doubt despite his exciting potential, the player had to go.” one of the fans echoed.

The entire incident couldn’t have happened at a more unfortunate time for Watford who, having relegated from the PL are looking at significant revenue losses as well as the departure of some of their best players.

The entire episode does bring to the fore the reason why so many footballers who are tipped to be  “Star of the future” go into obscurity following a promising start. The world of football is one full of glamor, parties , drugs, and sex. But , to a player who is aiming for the zenith, the only thing that should matter is the 100 yards of football field.

Let us hope that Adalberto Peñaranda can somehow redeem his faltering career following what may very well have just been a careless mistake, albeit one with huge repercussions
