Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says that he is happy with his side's fighting spirit after they came from 2-1 down to register a 4-2 win over Watford at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has said that he is pleased with his side's "attitude" after they came from behind to register a 4-2 win over Watford at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

Goals just before and just after the break had handed the Hornets a 2-1 lead over the Premier League champions, but Conte's charges struck back with three goals in the final 20 minutes to wrap up all three points.

The result ended a three-game winless streak in all competitions for the Blues, leaving Conte pleased with his side's fighting mentality.

"The performance was a good performance because to concede the equaliser at the end of the first and then go down in first part of the second half, our confidence in that moment was low," the Italian told Sky Sports News afterwards.

"But my players showed me that we have the attitude to fight and change the situation and get a different result. It was very important.

"It is not simple because we are facing difficult situations but the spirit and commitment is right. I'm satisfied for the performance."

Next up for Chelsea is a home encounter with Everton in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night ahead of a trip to Bournemouth in the league next Saturday.
