Goals

Chelsea equalised in the 55th minute after the half time changes; Cole Palmer scored from the edge of the box within 5 minutes of coming on, and he breathed life into the Blues.
They went ahead in the 85th minute when Moisés Caicedo smashed a 20 yard shot into the top corner, looking like the winner. But in the 90+3rd minute Fábio Carvalho tapped in from a long throw by Kevin Schade, who was unmarked at the back post.
Player of the Match
Kevin Schade was Player of the Match for his goal and the long throw assist. The German winger was a thorn in Chelsea’s side all game, scoring in his 4th game in a row and causing problems on the break. Brentford stifled Chelsea early with a solid shape, despite 67% possession.
Subs like Tyrique George and Reece James got Chelsea going, with Pedro Neto’s runs causing corners and Enzo Fernández playing the link up. Caoimhín Kelleher was excellent in goal for the Bees, denying Palmer a second with a great save, and Sanchez clawed out Schade’s follow-up.
Yellow cards flew, including for George and Marc Cucurella, as the game got feisty. Igor Thiago almost put Brentford back in front, but Caicedo’s wonder goal changed the momentum—until Carvalho’s poacher’s finish from Schade’s throw sent the fans wild. Set pieces and Chelsea’s wastefulness summed up a game that could be a big one in the European race.
