Watford were asking for that, really. Dropping too deep meant they were inviting pressure and Chelsea make them pay the price. Conte will be delighted with the impact his substitutes have made.

Should Chelsea have had a penalty though? Cathcart appeared to have handled the ball inside the area. The referee has missed it though and Watford are lucky.
