The story of this match was not too dissimilar to the last one. This time, Watford were leading and Batshuayi equalised in the 80th-minute mark to keep Chelsea in the game and in the 87th minute, Diego Costa was played through on goal with a ball over the top by Cesc Fabregas.

Though he had work to do, Costa galloped towards goal and slotted the ball past Gomes, the Watford keeper, who was perhaps anticipating a shot towards his near post. Costa's composure meant he had scored two late goals in the space of just 5 days to secure another win for Chelsea.
