Chelsea's Tammy Abraham scored twice, including a goal and an assist, as Chelsea beat Watford 2-1 in the Premier League on November 2, 2019.

Abraham's first goal came in the fifth minute, when he latched onto a brilliant defence-splitting pass by Jorginho and lifted the ball past Watford's Ben Foster.

Despite Foster's superb display, Chelsea doubled their lead in the 55th minute when Abraham pulled the ball back across the box for Christian Pulisic to slam home from close range.

Watford nearly snatched an unlikely point with a late penalty, but Chelsea's Kepa made a crucial save to secure the win.

The victory lifts Chelsea to third place in the table on 23 points, eight behind leaders Liverpool and two behind second-placed Manchester City, while Watford remain bottom on five points after 11 games.
