Football

Chelsea slump again... this time against Watford

When Eden Hazard scored an equaliser in the 82nd minute, it seemed as if Chelsea had salvaged a point after Troy Deeney had put Watford ahead in the first half in their Premier League encounter.

Down to 10 men with Tiemoue Bakayoko sent off after half an hour, Chelsea were run ragged in the final minutes of play as Daryl Janmaat, Gerard Deulofeu and Roberto Pereyra scored to make it 4-1 in Watford’s favour.

The pressure is now on Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, whose side lost at home to Bournemouth last week.
