Chelsea created five amazing records after beating Watford at Stanford Bridge

Chelsea returned to winning ways with 3 - 0 demolition of strugglers Watford Football Club at the Stanford Bridge on Saturday.





The emphatic victory helped the Frank Lampard's tutored side to return to the top four after they dropped to fifth position following Manchester United comprehensive win over Bournemouth at Old Trafford.







Contract rabel Willian was the star man again as he scored in his third consecutive games for the club from the penalty spot.

Before Willian converted a penalty after Ethien Capoul committed a foul on Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud had given the BLUES the lead.

Ross Barkley scored the third goal in the added time, with a thunderous shot from the six yards.

While Chelsea fans are celebrating the win, let's look at the amazing statistics from the game.






1 & 1 - Willian is the first player to score a penalty and a direct free-kick goal in the same Premier League game since Cesc Fabregas did so for Chelsea against West Ham in March 2016. ( against West Ham).











31 - Only seven defenders have recorded more Premier League assists than @ChelseaFC captain César Azpilicueta (31), with the Spaniard equalling his record for assists in a single campaign in the competition (6 – also 2017-18).






6 - Willian is just the sixth player in @premierleague history to score a penalty in three consecutive games.

Ian Wright - 1994

Michael Owen - 2003

Ruud van Nistelrooy - 2003

Yohan Cabaye - 2015

Sergio Aguero- 2017.






9 & 14 - Willian has more goals (9) and more goal involvements (14 - 9 goals, 5 assists) in the Premier League this season than any other campaign in the competition. Flying.

3 - Willian is the first ever Chelsea player to score a penalty in three consecutive Premier League games. Cool.






4 - Olivier Giroud has scored four goals in his last seven Premier League games for Chelsea, more than he had netted in his previous 38 appearances (3). Smart.
