- 90'+8'That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
- 90'+8'The Blues have now moved above Leicester and into third position, but the Foxes play tomorrow. Chelsea will turn their attentions to the Champions League on Tuesday, welcoming Ajax to Stamford Bridge, before returning to Premier League action next Saturday against Crystal Palace. Meanwhile Watford remain rooted to the bottom of the table and they will face Norwich next time out.
- 90'+8'FULL-TIME: WATFORD 1-2 CHELSEA
- 90'+6'Mount is booked for a foul on Doucoure and he then kicks the ball away in frustration.
- 90'+5'Late Chelsea substitution with Willian coming off and he has been replaced by James.
- 90'+4'Watford are piling on the pressure now, can they find a late equaliser? Chelsea are defending deep inside their own half.
- 90'There will be a minimum of FIVE minutes added time played.
- 89'Jorginho is the first Chelsea player to be booked, for timewasting over a free-kick. This yellow card means that he will now miss the next match due to suspension, against Crystal Palace.
- 88'Another Chelsea change, with Abraham replaced by Batshuayi.
- 88'Mariappa is the latest Watford player to be booked, after his foul on Batshuayi, just tugging the shirt of the striker.
- 85'Chelsea are just slowing the pace of the game down when they can, taking their time at throw-ins, trying to see the game out at 2-1.
- 83'Chelsea make their first substitution, with Pulisic coming off and he has been replaced by Hudson-Odoi.
- 82'Another Watford player is booked, after Dawson makes a very late challenge on Emerson, not getting the ball.
- 80'GOOOAAALLL! Deulofeu converts the penalty and makes it 2-1! The winger sends Kepa the wrong way and coolly slots the ball into the back of the net. There are still 10 minutes left to play, can they turn the game around?
- 77'That Watford substitution didn't go down too well with the home supporters, they didn't want Janmaat to come off and they are making their feelings towards the managers decision heard.
- 75'Third and final Watford substitution, with Janmaat coming off and he has been replaced by Femenia.
- 73'Decent effort! Mount with yet another shot on target, but this time his strike lacks the pace to beat Foster, who makes a comfortable save.
- 72'It's hard work for Watford now, they are chasing the ball all over the pitch as Chelsea are cruising along to victory. It's very easy for Frank Lampard's side.
- 70'Janmaat is booked for his late challenge on Pulisic, right on the left touchline.
- 67'Here is the Watford substitution, with the former Chelsea man, Chalobah coming off and he has been replaced by Hughes.
- 65'Watford are getting some players warmed up on the sidelines, they need to introduce some fresh legs in the midfield, as they've had to do a lot of chasing today.
- 63'It's all Chelsea at the moment, they are forcing Watford to get everyone back behind the ball and are sitting deep soaking up the pressure. However, Chelsea can be vulnerable at the back, as shown with the two late goals they conceded against Burnley last weekend.
- 59'It's just the Chelsea fans that can be heard inside Vicarage Road now, they will be delighted by their sides performance so far.
- 57'The goal has totally taken the wind out of the Watford team now, they are sitting deep and Chelsea look keen to push forward and score a third goal, which would surely wrap up the three points.
- 55'Abraham this time turns provider for Chelsea, opting to square the ball to Pulisic in a better position, rather than go for goal from a tight angle.
- 55'GOOOAAALLL! Pulisic makes it 2-0 to Chelsea! Willian gets the ball in the middle, he lays it out wide to Abraham, who drills it into the six-yard box and Pulisic taps the ball home from just a couple of yards out.
- 53'Chelsea have started the second half well, Watford are trying to break up their play and push forward themselves, but it's not working at the moment for them.
- 47'Blocked! Gray finds space in the Chelsea penalty area and tries to fire the ball towards goal, but Zouma gets back and makes a superb block to deny the Watford striker.
- 46'The second half is under way!
- 46'Kabasele is booked right at the start of the second half after he sticks out a leg and brings Pulisic down as he tried to break forward on the counter.
- 45'+1'Watford have it all to do if they are to get back into the game and end their winless streak, Chelsea look the better team and will be looking to extend their lead after the break.
- 45'+1'HALF-TIME: WATFORD 0-1 CHELSEA
- 45'There will be a minimum of one minute added time played at the end of the first half.
- 43'Watford have done well to stay in this match and just be the one goal down after their poor start, they've reacted well and it's been a fairly even game, the last 10 minutes or so.
- 39'The initial corner delivery is well cleared by Chelsea, but Watford keep hold of the ball and it finds Deulofeu once again, who drills it towards the bottom corner and it flies narrowly wide of the post.
- 38'Watford corner now, can they carve out an opportunity from the set piece? Deulofeu is going to take it...
- 36'Pereyra does well to break forward, he lays it out wide to Doucoure, but his shot is blocked by Emerson and goes out for a throw-in deep inside the Chelsea half.
- 34'Almost! Nice move by Chelsea down the left-wing, Pulisic gets to the byline and tries to drag it back for Willian, but he just can't get there in time and Watford clear the ball out of play for a corner.
- 32'As we pass the half an hour mark here at Vicarage Road, it remains Chelsea who lead 1-0, thanks to Abraham's fifth minute strike. However, if it wasn't for the excellent saves by Foster, it would be more.
- 30'Decent effort! Willian tries to bend one through the Watford defence and curl it into the bottom left-hand corner, but it lacks the pace to beat Foster, who makes a comfortable save.
- 28'Watford are managing to get the supporters on their side, by getting the ball into the Chelsea final third and making some good tackles, that have gone down a treat.
- 26'Chelsea have just dropped off the pace in the last few minutes, with Watford finally settling into the game and stringing a few passes together in the Chelsea half. Gray has hardly touched the ball up front for the Hornets.
- 22'There is a really good pace to the game, with Watford now starting to press higher up the pitch in an attempt to stop Chelsea from breaking forward. However, the visitors have been excellent on the ball and always manage to find a way out.
- 20'Here is the enforced Watford substitution, with Cathcart coming off and he has been replaced by Mariappa, who he passes the captains armband to as well.
- 18'SAVE! Superb stop by Foster to deny Abraham a second Chelsea goal! Mount fires the ball towards goal, it's blocked and falls perfectly to Abraham in front of goal, but Foster rushes off his line and saves with his feet.
- 17'Chelsea's attacking movement has been excellent so far, they are keeping the Watford defence guessing, constantly moving the ball from one wing to another.
- 15'Decent effort! Pereyra with a strike from the edge of the box, after some good build-up play by Watford, working the ball into the Chelsea final third for the first time. However, the shot is straight at Kepa, who makes a comfortable save.
- 9'Mount is brought down by Chalobah, handing Chelsea a free-kick in a good position around 30 yards out, close to the left wing. However, Mount's set piece delivery is poor and flies straight out of play.
- 7'Watford are struggling to get a touch on the ball at the moment, Chelsea are in total control and are pushing forward in search of a second goal already.
- 5'There didn't seem to be much on for Jorginho, but he looked up and spotted the run of Abraham, curling it in between the Watford defence, perfectly into the path of the striker.
- 5'GOOOAAALLL! Chelsea take the lead after just five minutes, it's 1-0! Abraham with a superb finish, after a brilliant ball in behind by Jorginho. The striker gets between the two Watford centre-backs and races through on goal, getting to the ball before Foster and firing it over his head and into the back of the net.
- 3'Chelsea are enjoying the early possession here, with Watford getting everyone back behind the ball and are soaking up the early pressure. The Hornets are yet to win a Premier League game this season.
