And instead of signalling a Chelsea comeback, the equaliser turned out to be the prelude to a Watford onslaught that produced three goals in less than 10 minutes.

Antonio Conte is in danger of being sacked by Chelsea, reports suggest, after tonight’s 4-1 defeat to Watford.
Either of those strikers would have had a chance of playing here as Conte once again deployed Hazard as Chelsea’s main attacking option with new signing Olivier Giroud warming the bench. “I try to do my job and try to put everything into my job”. “I work every day and I give 120%. OK?” If this is enough, it’s OK.
In his post-match press conference, he added: “I’m not anxious about my job”.
“I’m not anxious. Tomorrow is another day”.
The Italian coach led Chelsea FC to Premier League title glory during his first campaign in charge of the west London side. “Which is the problem?”
After a match that was nothing short of disastrous for Chelsea, The Sun reported that bookmakers have suspended wagering on whether or not Conte sees his tenure terminated at Stamford Bridge. Tiredness, injuries, but this is not my way to face the situation, to solve the problem.
The Hornets started the second period on the front foot, as both Richarlison and Deulofeu fired efforts wide of goal.
But of course things will have to change drastically, on the pitch if nowhere else, following yet another listless defeat against struggling opposition. Our performance was very poor.

“My choice was very poor I think”. A great team must do this. “The second half we had more difficulties but then to score the second goal was incredible, it was an unforgettable night”. Usually we train and we play football with confidence. But especially for this reason, you have to understand that only through a great work, a big work, can you go and try to be closer to these teams who maybe don’t have this type of financial problems. After being shown a yellow for a lazy foul, moments after losing possession (something he was doing repeatedly), Bakayoko was given his marching orders five minutes later by referee Mike Dean for committing the same offence. The victor finds a solution. “If we want to find excuses, alibis, we can find everything”.
