Watford supporters will be happy with some aspects of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Chelsea, but will be disappointed that the Hornets weren't able to see it out and earn at least a draw, especially when considering how soft both of the Blues' goals were.

It's impossible to avoid the argument that the Diego Costa shouldn't have been on the pitch when he scored the winner, but Watford will be frustrated to have afforded him the chance and to end up taking nothing from a game they controlled for so long.

Positives

Etienne Capoue's fine strike was his second of the season and gave Watford a well-deserved lead.
