On Monday evening, the last matches of the 26th round of the English Premier League were played. Antonio Conte, who is fighting for his future, took his London Chelsea team to Watford and disappointed his team's fans - Watford, who had not won five consecutive matches, ended their losing streak and crushed their opponents with a score of 4-1. Chelsea's plans to take home a victory were disrupted by Tiemoue Bakayoko, who earned two yellow cards in 15 minutes and left the "Blues" to play with ten men from the 35th minute, which greatly hindered the visitors' chances of achieving victory. Watford wasted no time in taking advantage - they were awarded a penalty in the 42nd minute, which Troy Deeney successfully converted into a goal. In the second half, Chelsea continued to struggle to create opportunities, but in the 82nd minute, an equalizer came out of nowhere - Eden Hazard returned intrigue to the match with a brilliant long-range shot, but it didn't last long. Chelsea's team visibly lacked energy, and Watford managed to score three more goals in the remaining time. In the 84th minute, after a great combination, Daryl Janmaat restored the advantage. Four minutes later, Gerard Deulofeu sealed the victory, and in added time, Roberto Pereyra sent the English champions further into disarray. Chelsea had to accept their second consecutive defeat, but they still remain in fourth place. However, their closest pursuers, Tottenham, are now only one point behind the "Blues". Result: Watford 4 - 1 Chelsea 42' [1 - 0] T. Deeney (penalty) 82' [1 - 1] E. Hazard 84' [2 - 1] D. Janmaat 88' [3 - 1] G. Deulofeu 90+1' [4 - 1] R. Pereyra 30' T.
