Chelsea leaves it late to beat Watford 2-1 in Premier League
Chelsea win!
Diego Costa scored a late winner for the second time this week as Chelsea came from behind to beat Watford 2-1 on Saturday and complete back-to-back Premier League victories under new coach Antonio Conte.
Costa clinched three points in the 87th minute after running onto a brilliant through-ball from Cesc Fabregas and shooting past goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
Costa’s winning goal against West Ham on Monday came in the 89th and that also sealed a 2-1 victory. Despite two unconvincing performances, Chelsea has maximum points so far as Conte finds his feet in English football.
“I am happy for how we played for 70, 80 minutes because we played very well,” Mazzarri said, “but I am not happy with the result.
“We are a team that still has room to grow and there is margin for improvement. The new players can help us a lot.”
