Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic were on target as Chelsea secured a fourth straight away win with a 2-1 success at struggling Watford.
Chelsea looked home and dry before a VAR review handed Watford a penalty which Gerard Deulofeu converted, and Kepa Arrizabalaga made a superb late save from Ben Foster to seal all three points.

Expert view: Alan Smith
I’ve said it a few times with regard to Watford: time is running out for them to launch a revival.
And it isn’t difficult to see where the problems lie. Since drawing 2-2 with Arsenal in September, they’ve only scored once in the following five League games.
On the face of it, then, the visit of in-form Chelsea doesn’t look the best remedy.
The return of captain Troy Deeney can’t come quickly enough.
