Chelsea draws Watford in Hiddink’s EPL return
Hiddink is back at the club after a previous stint in charge in 2009 as Chelsea attempt to recover from Jose Mourinho’s departure.

“Personally it is going to be great for me if I can achieve that number”.
Watford possess one of the division’s most organised defences, and as on so many occasions this season they again deserved credit for nullifying a multi-talented attack which only succeeded for the first time with their 32nd-minute goal because of reasonable fortune.
Diego Costa gave Chelsea the lead with a volley after John Terry won a header from Willian’s corner in the 33rd minute.
Worse was to come for Chelsea after the break when in-form Hornets striker Odion Ighalo netted for the fifth successive match, his shot taking a deflection of Gary Cahill to leave Thibaut Courtois wrong-footed.
But had Oscar not skied a penalty high over the bar with 10 minutes remaining, Hiddink might have marked his return to west London with victory. Of course we are expecting a tough game because they play well, they have experience, [and] a lot of quality.
“Diego Costa, when he is focused on what he is good at like today, he has his profit from his play”.
Oscar’s penalty miss. It initially surprised that Costa was not given the chance to score his hat-trick, but that would not have mattered had Oscar scored.
“Normally you might analyse the three games before, but when they change [manager] it’s not valid what you analyse under one coach”. The Spaniard simply does not get enough credit for the job he is doing.
With both sides hunting all three points, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard was tripped by Valon Behrami after a marauding run into the penalty area in the 80th minute. That tackle was among the worst of this season.

Up stepped Oscar, but he slipped as he was about to strike the ball and it ended up in Row Z of the Matthew Harding Stand.
