14th January 2004- FA Cup Third Round Replay, Chelsea 4 Watford 0 Leave a Reply Chelsea brushed aside Watford to book a fourth round tie with Scarborough. The Watford manager Ray Lewington wished Scarborough good luck in a tone of comic pity, yet his own side took credit for the vim shown despite the unavailability of their injured forward Heidar Helguson. The Icelander was rumbustious in the 2-2 draw at Vicarage Road that had slotted into a sequence of troubled games for Chelsea. This should be no surprise. After all, it’s what everyone expected to happen, what was tacitly being written into the history books before the game kicked off. The surprise was the draw in the first game, a game we might even have won… and the enormity of that achievement was only underlined by the degree to which we were ultimately outclassed in this replay. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=2004-01-14 Share this:TwitterFacebook
