Chelsea’s much changed line-up finally managed to defeat Watford 4-3 in an exciting game at Stamford Bridge on Monday. John Terry, Cesar Azpilicueta, Michy Batshuayi and Cesc Fabregas all goaled a piece to help their team to the points in the Premier League Championship.
Having made 38 changes all season prior to Monday night, it was a totally unfamiliar-looking Chelsea side with Antonio Conte making nine changes to the team to give an opportunity to a number of young players as well as departing club captain Terry.
However, what is striking about Chelsea’s season is how those players outside the established first-choice 11 have still managed to have their moments in this title win , some of them coming at the most pivotal points in time in the campaign.
