On a final day of Premier League football set up in a cloud of uncertainty in respect of the title race, making the top four and who would be relegated, Stamford Bridge was a venue of more certainty. Chelsea had third place secured and Watford were already set to spend next season in the Championship.
Neither side had much to play for with Hornets manager Roy Hodgson bringing his football career to an end, while even referee Mike Dean was making his final Premier League outing. Safe to say, it was not a match that was always fired with intensity.
Kenedy ensured a lively start for Thomas Tuchel's side however and posed questions down Chelsea's left before delivering a good ball for Kai Havertz to finish just 11 minutes into the contest. Chelsea then coasted in possession, with Watford having a few moments of pressure, until the 87th minute when some slack defending saw Dan Gosling level the scores. Ross Barkley was able to put the finishing touches on a lively cameo when he headed in from another expert delivery from Reece James.
