Chelsea celebrate title win with 4-3 romp

Terry, who is leaving this season after 22 years with the club, hooked home a loose ball from a Willian corner in the 22nd minute. The defender has scored in 17 consecutive Premier League seasons.

But the former England captain was at fault for the equaliser when barely two minutes later he back-headed a ball he should have cleared, sending it straight to Etienne Capoue for an easy headed goal.

Chelsea had won the title with a 1-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion on Friday, so Monday’s game was more about giving those who had not figured too often in the season a chance to shine.

Spanish defender Cesar Azpilicueta put Chelsea ahead again in the 36th minute and striker Michy Batshuayi, Diego Costa’s understudy, followed his goal on Friday with Chelsea’s third on Monday, four minutes into the second half. Watford put a brief damper on fans’ celebrations with Daryl Janmaat dribbling through for Watford’s second goal and substitute Stefano Okaka equalising in the 74th. 

Substitute Cesc Fabregas put away the winner in the 88th minute as the stadium erupted once again for a title that l;ooked out of reach at one stage.
