Brentford v Chelsea

The full-time whistle is met with roars at the Gtech Community Stadium as Brentford beat Chelsea 3-0 after a superb second-half display. Following a drab opening period, the Bees found the sting their attack had been missing, as Anthony nodded in from a Schuster nod-back after a left-sided corner just past the hour. While they had to scramble away from danger minutes later, and also survived a Barco appeal for a penalty against Sangare, the hosts grabbed a second in the 83rd minute. A merciless counter-attack saw Schade force a save from Martinez, and the ball fell beautifully for Thiago to power home and open his Premier League account for the season. Stoppage time crowned a delightful day as Carvalho added to his midweek EFL Cup goal against Reading to tap in at the back post and mark Brentford's first win over Chelsea in the Premier League since their Premier League arrival. The hosts admirably did so by bettering their 2.65 xG. Ahead of the weekend's fixtures, they now move to third. For Chelsea, on the other hand, there's valuable lessons to be learned. They struggled beneath an eventual 0.82 xG and have been shell-shocked by their West London foes. They now drop a place to seventh. Thanks for joining us tonight. Goodbye!

FULL-TIME: BRENTFORD 3-0 CHELSEA

90'+4'

Goal

GOOOAAAAALLLLL! IT'S 3-0 BRENTFORD! CARVALHO TAPS IN AT THE BACK POST TO CROWN A SUPERB SECOND HALF AT THE GTECH! A long Kayode throw is cleared, but Schade is found on the left. His low cross deflects through to the back stick, and the former Liverpool man adds to his midweek goal against Reading on a special night!

Chelsea win a late free-kick on the left edge of the area. Palmer and Rogers stand over it. Palmer crosses, and an unmarked Lacroix heads over. It's just not been their day today.

Amidst continued toothless Chelsea attacks, the board signals a minimum of five minutes of added time.

Chelsea just can't get a foot in edgeways here as Brentford look in inspired form tonight.
