Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic has expressed his belief that the introduction of Willian was the difference between his side and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
The FA Cup tie was goalless when the Brazilian playmaker was introduced by Jose Mourinho at the break, and he went on to open the scoring, which inspired the Blues to a 3-0 victory.
"The arrival of Willian changed the speed and we started suffering more and this player scored a fantastic first goal," Jokanovic told BBC Sport.
"At the end, I must be happy with the performance of my players. We try, we made some half chances and tried to play some fast counter-attack."
The Hornets have not won any of their last eight encounters against Chelsea.
