Usually it makes a difference.

And Silva was kicking himself in his interview that the subs have made a difference.

And Conte was very thankful for them because it's changed the complexion of their season today.

The win.

It's put them right back in the top four and they can now build on it.

As a manager as well, tomorrow you get the players in, maybe for a warm-down, it makes such a difference to the atmosphere as well, doesn't it, for the rest of the week?

Yeah, and your subs have made an impact, the XI, they're quite happy, so you've got a real happy squad going into the next game and you can concentrate on the work and everybody's focused on the work.

And when you get a defeat, a big defeat like this would have been, if Watford would have won today, it would have been very, very tense on that Chelsea training ground.

So a much easier week to work and get what you want done as a manager.

But it got off to the perfect start for Chelsea, almost.

12th minute, they get a corner, which we've all agreed they shouldn't have done.

Pedro makes the goal.

But was there a little bit of Watford just not responding to the decision going against them?

Yeah, this fall asleep, this and done it, happens all the time in football.

And sometimes you get away with it, but I think...

When you play against a team like Chelsea that has this quality and bright minds, as soon as they get the corner, they just make it work for themselves.

But even then, as much as Watford fall asleep, you have to credit the finish.

It's one of the goals of the season.

It's such a difficult technique.

You can see the Watford players fall asleep.
