Premier League 2017/18: Watford 4-1 Chelsea - Player Ratings

Chelsea

Shambolic performance from the men in Blue

Thibaut Courtois - 6/10

He should have never left his line which resulted in a penalty. Apart from that, there was very little the Belgian could have done.

Cesar Azpilicueta - 6/10

The only player in the back three that actually tried to make a difference. He tracked back to stop a couple of Watford attacks.

David Luiz - 4/10

Coming back into the starting lineup in the Premier League after three months, the Brazilian's passing was poor. He also made a reckless challenge and got a booking.

Garry Cahill - 4/10

The Chelsea captain just couldn't keep up with Deulofeu's pace and was beaten time and again. He did, however, make a couple of decent tackles at the back.

Victor Moses - 5/10

He was energetic on the right flank and seemed to be a threat when on the move. However, his final ball was lacking.

Tiemoue Bakayoko - 1/10

Just when you think Bakayoko's performance cannot get worse than this, he proves you wrong. He lost the ball a countless number of times and was booked twice in a span of five minutes. Luckily for him, the hosts couldn't capitalise on it, else the scoreline would have been even worse for the visitors.

N'Golo Kante - 6/10

Given the fact that he had to do the work of two players, he did a good job. He did what he does best but was overshadowed by Watford's midfielders many times.

Davide Zappacosta - 4/10

The Italian never looked comfortable on the left flank. With zero crosses, he didn't look like threatening when on the move and did very little to help Cahill deal with Deulofeu.

Willian - 5/10

Willian was unlucky to be taken off early in the game because of the red card shown to Bakayoko. Prior to that, he looked lively but made no real offensive impact on the game.

Eden Hazard - 7/10

Without a doubt, Hazard was Chelsea's best player on the pitch. He had a quiet first half but was lively in the second. He even managed to get on the scoresheet which did lift the spirits of the Chelsea players for a few minutes before the hosts took the lead once again.

Pedro - 4/10

The Spaniard did not have the best night. This was another poor performance from him. He gave the ball away often and did little to make an impact.

Substitutes

Cesc Fabregas - 4/10

Coming on the pitch just a little over the half-an-hour mark, Fabregas looked invisible in the game.

Oliver Giroud - 4/10

Not the best debut for Giroud. He did try to make an impact after coming on but was sandwiched between two defenders from the hosts.
