Match Events

10' CHANCE! What an opportunity for Deeney. The corner reaches the Watford captain completely unmarked at the back post, but his attempted volley is completely miscued and bobbles wide. He really should have scored.
25' YELLOW! Bakayoko has been particularly poor and he fouls Capoue clumsily after giving the ball to the Watford man. That's a booking.
30' Red Card! Bakayoko sent off
A horrible showing meets a premature end for Bakayoko. He is off. A poor first touch allows Richarlison to nip in and a rash challenge brings a second yellow card in quick succession.
42' Penalty Goal! Watford 1-0 Chelsea (Deeney)
Watford have been given a penalty...
Troy Deeney converts the penalty to give Watford a 1-0 lead.
82' GOAL! Watford 1-1 Chelsea (E.Hazard)
Eden Hazard grabs a goal to bring things level at 1-1 at Vicarage Road. Brilliant from Hazard and Chelsea are level! The Watford players cannot believe it. The little Belgian beats Mariappa twice and then, from 25 yards, shoots into the bottom-right corner. It's a scarcely deserved equaliser but an equaliser all the same. 1-1.
84' GOAL! Watford 2-1 Chelsea (Janmaat)
Watford take a 2-1 lead thanks to Daryl Janmaat. Janmaat! Incredible. The Dutchman scored a wonderful individual goal against Chelsea last season, but this is even better. He beats man after man, trades passes with Pereyra and then slides a reverse finish past Courtois. 2-1. That's a fine assist from Roberto Pereyra.
88' GOAL! Deulofeu has been brilliant and he gets the goal he deserves! It's another individual strike, cutting inside from the right to shoot into the bottom-left corner, and that should be that. 3-1. Watford take a comfortable 3-1 lead thanks to Gerard Deulofeu.
90' + 1' GOAL! Pereyra gets in on the act and Watford are rampant! What a wonderful, wonderful finish from the substitute, who runs across the Chelsea defence and delays just a second to leave Azpilicueta off balance before shooting inside the left-hand post. 4-1.
