Diego Costa controversy again as Chelsea leave it late at Watford

Three points from Watford 1-2 Chelsea at Vicarage Road on Saturday as Antonio Conte's came from behind to sneak a late win.

1. Chelsea's late show again

Saturday's win at Watford represented another smash-and-grab raid for Chelsea, with Diego Costa, just as he did in the 2-1 win against West Ham on Monday, scoring the late winner.

Costa, already on a booking, escaped a second yellow for a nasty challenge on West Ham's Adrian at the start of the week and profited by scoring an 89th minute winner. He was at it again here, netting five minutes from time having been booked for dissent earlier and then avoiding a second booking for diving in the box.
