Watford 1-2 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2019-20

#4 Ben Foster was the biggest talking point of the first half

Ben Foster defying the laws of gravity for a couple of seconds as he denies Pulisic in the first half

Pictures as they say, tell hundreds and thousands of stories. Well, the one above justifies the proverb quite well. Watford's defenders ailing, Chelsea on the move, but a spectacular Foster keeping his side in the game despite all their shabby defending.

They played with five at the back but more often than not, they were completely exposed by a pacy Chelsea attack. The game could well have been over, meaning the nail-biting finale towards the end couldn't even have held a pinch of significance.

If not for Foster, Chelsea could have been three or four up inside the first half. A lucky break for Abraham saw the former England international dive to his left. Moreover, he pulled off a jaw-dropping stop off Pulisic's free header. Here again, absolutely no one picked up the run of the American at the near post. The Hornets have sturdy, robust center-halves but no one managed to win the first ball.

Another brilliant passage of play from Chelsea resulted in a thunderous volley from Mason Mount, who did more than just ask questions of the goalkeeper. Foster reacted brilliantly to spring off his stance and deny the youngster.

Shockingly, he almost scored the leveler with the last touch of the game, only to be denied by his counterpart, who was hardly ever troubled in the game.
