Brentford Condemn Chelsea To Another League Defeat After 3-0 Thumping

Brentford claimed an emphatic 3-0 victory against Chelsea in the west London derby in Friday night’s Premier League clash.

The win temporarily took Brentford to third on nine points while Chelsea are in seventh spot on seven points in the league table.

It was all too easy for Brentford to win it as first Mikkel Damsgaard’s corner was nodded across by Jannik Schuster, leaving Jaidon Anthony to nod home unmarked from a few yards out on 61 minutes, as reported by Sky Sports.

Then with Chelsea pushing for a leveller and moving to a back four, Brentford hit the Blues on the counter as Kevin Schade broke through.

His one-on-one was saved by Emiliano Martinez but Igor Thiago struck home from close range in the 83rd minute to end his seven-game goal drought.

And with virtually the last kick of the game, Fabio Carvalho scored his first Premier League goal since his near-year-long injury lay-off after tucking home Schade’s cross while unmarked at the far post to make it 3-0 in the 94th minute.

Chelsea have now conceded 12 goals – the most in the league – from five Premier League games as the wait for their first top-flight clean sheet of the season goes on.

Unimpressive in defence, but in attack, Chelsea weren’t much better – clearly missing the injured Joao Pedro, with replacement Danny Welbeck failing to generate any clear chances in his place.

Moises Caicedo was another big miss, with his replacement being Jordan Henderson, who made an unsuccessful first start for the Blues at the club he joined them from.
