Watford 1-2 Chelsea - 3 reasons why the Blues earned a deserved victory away from home | Premier League 2019-20

#3 Watford's defensive organization was shocking once again

Watford FC v Chelsea FC - Premier League

Watford are the only winless side left in the Premier League and the root cause for all their problems was on show once again, as Chelsea carved open their backline on numerous occasions.

The Watford rearguard failed to anticipate Jorginho's through ball for the opening goal of the game and they were undone defensively once again in the second, as Christian Pulisic tapped the ball into the net with the goal gaping.

Although it could be argued that Watford simply do not have the personnel to keep out one of the most exciting attacking units in the Premier League, the Hornets looked shaky at the back from the get-go and failed to recover after going behind in the opening stages of the game.

Quique Sanchez Flores' arrival was expected to shore things up at the back for the Hornets but they've continued to ship goals at an alarming rate, a trend that needs to stop if they are to have any hope of steering clear of the relegation zone.
