Chelsea showed their superiority to cruise past Championship side Watford with a 3-0 victory on Sunday and book their spot in the FA Cup fourth round.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho had warned that the punishing festive fixture schedule could leave his side vulnerable to a giant-killing, but there was no hint of an upset at Stamford Bridge.
Three goals in 14 second-half minutes from Willian, Loic Remy and Kurt Zouma were enough to see the seven-time winners comfortably through.
Having suffered humiliation at Tottenham Hotspur on their last outing, when they lost 5-3 in the Premier League, this was the perfect riposte by Chelsea, albeit against lower-league opposition.
