Will Hughes and Maurizio Sarri engage in a spot of wrestling

Watford's intensity in the first half saw their midfield press every single Chelsea player on the Stamford Bridge pitch, but it didn't stop with just the eleven that were playing.

Will Hughes took it to the next level and even decided to press Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri such was his workrate during the first 45 minutes.

Okay, maybe not, but he and Sarri still engaged in a spot of light wrestling after Hughes was barged off the ball by Mateo Kovacic right in front of the dugout before colliding into the boss.


Surprisingly, Sarri showed nimble footwork to stay on his feet while grappling Hughes, who in turn held onto Sarri for dear life in order to not fall over himself.

It was all good natured though - the pair had big smiles on their faces after the incident in what was a moment you would only see on the side of a football pitch.

No half time warm ups for the subs after poor first half

Usually at half time, in between the strange centre circle challenges and other half time fun and games that goes on at stadiums up and down the country, the substitutes go through a little warm up and smash balls at one another for 15 minutes.

But not on Sunday after what was an extremely poor first half performance from Chelsea who were lucky to go in at the break level against Watford, although they did enter the dressing rooms to the sounds of boos from around Stamford Bridge.

All seven of the subs were kept in with the team for the 15 minute period and Chelsea were even sent back out early to go through a few drills before Watford made their way back out for the second half.

Whatever Sarri did and said at half time worked a treat - two early goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and David Luiz put them in the driving seat and made sure they claimed their spot in the top four of the Premier League.

Jorginho's odd socks

Chelsea debuted and modelled their new kit at their final home Premier League game of the season but eagle eyed viewers amongst you might have noticed something odd about Jorginho.

No, not his headband accessory, but his socks.

Every other member of the team was wearing the side's new socks which had bits of red at the top of them, but Jorginho played the entire game in completely white socks.

They were, in fact, the socks of this season's kit.

Why he was wearing them while everyone else wore the new socks is anyone's guess, but I can imagine superstitions will have something to do with why Jorginho was wearing the previous kit's socks.

Sarri and Zola don't join in with the lap of appreciation

It has become tradition now at the end of the season for the players to do a lap of appreciation at the final home game to show the fans their thanks for their support.

It's also a chance for fans to say a final goodbye to some of the players that won't be there next season, like Gary Cahill and most likely Eden Hazard.

Most of the time managers will join in but Maurizio Sarri and Gianfranco Zola stood by the tunnel and didn't join in, instead allowing the players and coaching staff to take in the appreciation of the fans.

It was a wise move from the head coach - the reception to him has been mixed this season and he has been booed over the course of the campaign, and that's the last thing he would've wanted to happen on Sunday.

A good call from Sarri I think.
