Chelsea slog through as Watford put up a fight
Chelsea 4-2 Watford. By Amar Azam at Stamford Bridge

AMID disappointing performances from his Chelsea side, it appears that if Antonio Conte’s title-holders want to retain their crown, they will have to do it the hard way.

Against a Watford side that showed craft and ingenuity, the Blues needed to come from behind to beat resilient opponents. For Conte, it was welcome relief as his side registered their first win in four matches.

For now, Chelsea remain within touching distance of those at the top of the Premier League. Conte, meanwhile, was upbeat even if there are suggestions that his job could be on the line months after leading the club to the title.
