Chelsea still in title hunt with dramatic comeback win vs. Watford

LONDON -- Three points from Chelsea's 3-2 comeback over Watford at Stamford Bridge that saw the defending champions avoid three consecutive Premier League defeats.

1. Chelsea remain in the title hunt

Midway through this action-packed second half at Stamford Bridge, it genuinely felt like Chelsea's title defence was over. They would probably have ended today 12 points behind Manchester City, having dropped points in three consecutive games. Instead, a stunning late turnaround means they remain involved following a victory they barely deserved.

For long periods here Chelsea were extremely poor -- open in defence, sloppy in possession and, more than anything, seemingly exhausted.
