It was rumoured that Antonio Conte's position as the boss of Chelsea might have been under serious scrutiny after the Italian went through a win-less spell with the West London team in its last three Premier League games.

He was under the scanner yet again as Chelsea trailed 2-1 to a confident and passionate Watford unit after Roberto Pereyra's 49th-minute goal. It looked like Chelsea will succumb to Arsenal's fortune of last week, where the men under Arsene Wenger suffered a similar blow against Marco Silva's troops.

However, Chelsea scripted a miraculous comeback in the latter stages of the game and turned the match on its head after Michy Batshuayi's double strike for them. They displayed extreme reserves of determination and grit to pocket a 4-2 victory at the end of 90 minutes.

Conte's men showed why they are the defending champions of the league with their fightback after being down by a goal against a side that is full of confidence right now. Their campaign this season is definitely alive, more so now.
