44 MINS: So Chelsea have a free kick in a dangerous position for Britos' foul on Costa. Willian, disappointingly, fires it well high.12/26/2015 3:45:56 PM
-
45 MINS: CLOSE! Pedro's cross from the right flies across the box but Costa just can't get to the ball before the half-time whistle is blown. So it's 1-1 at the break! Costa and Deeney (penalty) with the goals!12/26/2015 3:47:23 PM

55 MINS: CHANCE! The ball falls to Capoue who tests Courtois with a fine low drive before it's parried back into his path. The former Tottenham man then fires the ball back at goal but Terry clears the danger.12/26/2015 4:13:07 PM

56 MINS: GOAL! Ighalo makes it 2-1 to Watford!12/26/2015 4:13:25 PM

Jurado showed some great determination in the build-up to that goal, after dribbling past Mikel and setting up Ighalo who used his fancy footwork to get the ball past Cahill and over Courtois into the net. The ball took a deflection off the Chelsea defender, who didn't do enough to pressurise Ighalo enough. Chelsea 1-2 Watford!12/26/2015 4:17:53 PM

Minutes later, Costa nearly gives Chelsea the lead but Gomes does enough to parry the ball out although the Blues don't get a corner.12/26/2015 4:25:28 PM
