Just when things seemed to be in place for Chelsea to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time this season, Brazilian midfielder Oscar could not score a late penalty for the Blues after he lost his footing as he approached to kick the ball. With this result, Chelsea will continue languishing in the bottom half of the standings, just two points clear from the relegation zone.
Chelsea wasn't able to hold on to their 1-0 goal lead following Diego Costa's strike, as Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo led Watford's comeback. Costa managed to level things again while recording his first brace of the season, but when it came down to Oscar to shine, the Brazilian player could not deliver.
The South American playmaker was heavily trolled by other team's supporters, which have endured criticism from Chelsea's fans. Here are some of their best tweets.

Oscar slips and puts the penalty over the bar for Chelsea. Maybe they'll sing about their own team now & forget their obsession with Gerrard

If you're travelling to Wimbledon on the District Line past Stamford Bridge you might see Oscar's penalty sailing past your carriage ...

Lol at the Chelsea fans who laughed at Santi Cazorla when he missed penalty vs West Brom. That Oscar slip was worse.
