ANTONIO CONTE celebrated Chelsea’s comeback win by diving into the crowd before insisting there is no chance of him being sacked by the Blues.
The under-pressure Italian was staring at a third successive Premier League defeat until a dramatic late comeback saw off Watford. But he denied talk that he is fighting for his job — despite Blues owner Roman Abramovich’s track record of axing under-performing managers.
Conte said: “I feel a lot of pressure at Chelsea but not the pressure of if the club decides to sack me.
“I trust in my work. I give everything for the club I work for.
“I did it for Chelsea last season and I am doing the same this time. For this reason I have never been worried about the sack.
“At 2-1 down it was a very difficult moment, maybe the worst for us. “To come back and win means that the players have great heart and desire and don’t accept the situation to lose.”
Watford boss Marco Silva was fuming about the corner which led to Chelsea’s 12th-minute opening goal.
He said: “Everyone knows it should have been a goal-kick and even in the second half every corner and throw-in went to them.
“This is a really unfair result. We didn’t deserve to lose. Even a draw would have been unfair.”
