Javi Gracia's first home English Premier League game in charge of Watford ended in a 4-1 victory over 10-man Chelsea on Monday night, as pressure mounts on his opposite number.

Antonio Conte suffered back-to-back three-goal defeats after a humbling defeat to Bournemouth last time out, and it remains to be seen whether he will remain in charge for the remainder of what has been a disappointing title defence.

The visitors indeed started slowly at Vicarage Road and were in trouble from the moment Tiemoue Bakayoko received his marching orders for a second yellow on 30 minutes.

Shortly before half-time, Watford were awarded a penalty when Gerard Deulofeu was brought down by Thibaut Courtois and Troy Deeney made no mistake to send them in with both a goal and a man advantage.

Chelsea seldom looked threatening in the second half, but a moment of brilliance from Eden Hazard had them level as the Belgian curled a 20-yard strike into the corner on 82 minutes.
