EPL: Chelsea celebrate title at home with 7-goal thriller

Chelsea FC celebrated their English Premier League title triumph with
a hard - earned 4 - 3 victory over Watford on Monday at Stamford
Bridge.
Antonio Conte and his players were able to take the acclaim on a lap
of honour after the final whistle in an ill- tempered but thrilling
encounter .
But they were made to work for the win by a fired- up and physical Watford.
John Terry, who will leave at the end of the season after more than
two decades at the club, set the ball rolling with an unusual event .
He celebrated his first league start since September by scoring
Chelsea's 100 th goal in all competitions this term after 22 minutes .
Terry then gifted Watford' s Etienne Capoue an instant equaliser with
a poor header .
Cesar Azpilicueta then saved him the blushes when he restored
Chelsea's lead with a crisp finish before half -time.
The contest appeared to be over when Michy Batshuayi, whose goal at
West Brom on Friday kept the title in the bag , added a third just
after the break.
Watford, however , showed commendable fight after this , as Daryl
Janmaat' s fine solo effort put the visitors within reach .
Substitute Stefano Okaka , who was given his Italy debut by Chelsea
boss Conte when he was in charge of the national side , took advantage
of defensive uncertainty to equalise.
Chelsea, as so often this season, found a way to win as substitute
Cesc Fabregas struck from the edge of the area with three minutes left
.
Watford's misery was then compounded when Sebastian Prodl was sent off
for a second yellow card in stoppage time .
