Chelsea 5 - 0 Watford

The FA Cup campaign kicks off the new year with the visit of Watford to the Bridge as we start the defence of what has become our trophy of the noughties. Once again, I'm at the game so here are the in game tweets and the link to the BBC match report.

• 3:10 - 4mins gone and Sturridge gets on the end of a JT knock down to score his 1st Chelsea goal. Its 1-0 to the Blues
• 3:18 - Its 2-0 within 10min as a Joe Cole shot causes chaos in the Watford defence and the ball pinballs into the net. Will go down as an own goal
• 3:25 - All Chelsea - First Alex draws a cracking save from Loach & Belletti hits a volley just over before Malouda deflects a Zirkov shot for 3-0
• 4:23 - Just over an hour gone and Lamps makes it 4 with a superb drive from the edge of the box.
• 4:28 - Its becoming a rout as Sturridge makes it 5-0 in his last action of the half. He's replaced by Fabio Borini

So a cruise through into the 4th round is complete and the day is an even bigger celebration as Man U lost to Leeds Utd earlier in the day. An away tie with Preston beckons

Come on you BLUES !!
