Even a VAR intervention was not enough to stop Chelsea from maintaining their imperious away form. Frank Lampard’s slick side have become a delight to watch on their travels and there was resilience to match their smooth football in the dying stages, ensuring that there would be no dramatic fightback from Watford after Gerard Deulofeu’s late penalty.
Watford, bottom of the league and winless in their first 11 matches, could not quibble with Chelsea equalling a club record by recording a seventh consecutive away win in all competitions. Chelsea were dominant for long spells and moved into third place thanks to goals from Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic.
