Chelsea FC had been having it rough at the beginning of this season having lost two matches in a row.
This time again, they lost woefully to a lesser known opponent, Watford by 4-1.
Watford scored three late goals to win in Javi Gracia’s first home game in charge and increase the pressure on Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte.
The Blues squad was reduced with a red card given to Bakayoko in the 30 minutes of the game leaving Chelsea with 10 against 11 for Stanford.
Stanford had their first goal through a penalty by Troy Deeney who converted the opportunity to a goal to give Watford a 1-0 lead.
Chelsea equalised 82 minutes into the second half as Eden Hazard slotted in an equaliser to the surprise of the Watford players.
Watford take a 2-1 lead thanks to Daryl Janmaat incredible goal. He beats man after man, trades passes with Pereyra and then slides a reverse finish past Courtois. 2-1 at 84th minutes of the game.

88 minute 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.
The last minute goal came as 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.
