Cesar Azpilicueta says Chelsea have taken a step towards rebuilding their confidence with a late win over Watford.
Having taken the lead over Marco Silva’s side, two goals for the visitors either side of half-time left the champions in pieces at the back.
However, with Michy Batshuayi and then Willian introduced with just over twenty minutes to go, the Blues were level through the Belgian before Azpilicueta headed home to regain the lead.
Batshuayi added a fourth in injury time to ensure that Antonio Conte’s side put a run of two Premier League defeats behind them, and Azpilicueta says that it’s an important step in returning to full confidence.
"We had to dig in until the last minute and we showed our spirit,” the Spaniard told Sky Sports.
"It wasn't our best game but we got an important win for our confidence after three games without winning.
"We started really well and had chances to score the second. The confidence was a bit lower because of their second goal but we didn't given up. It's a big win for us.
"We know it's a long season and will have ups and downs but this is the first step to get the confidence up."
