Kristoffer Ajer (Brentford) Interception at 28'

Off the line! Brentford are very relaxed with the ball in their own area, and a backwards throw-in is dribbled off the line by Kelleher! He looked to be the coolest man on the pitch there!

The Damsgaard corner is headed out, but the hosts keep the pressure up. Schade takes down a looping pass on the left of the box, and Chavarria puts it out for another corner. Fofana heads the delivery away, but the threat isn't over, as Kayode goes for a long throw. This results in Lewis-Potter having a shot blocked.

After Schade and Barco scuffle in the area, the Brentford free-kick is floated in from the right. It bounces about a bit, and an angry Henderson has to put it behind. He thought Rogers was pulled down by Kayode.

The hosts look to make strides in the Chelsea half now, and a Janelt dummy nearly helps the move develop nicely. However, a Chelsea foot just takes the ball away from danger. Anthony then wins a foul to keep the Bees at the right end of the pitch.

Barco looks to feed Chavarria in towards the left byline, but the audacious pass is just too far ahead. Brentford are soaking up a lot of pressure at the time of writing.

Fofana reacts well to a ball over the top. Chelsea then try to move down their right side as Barco searches for Palmer, but that killer pass never comes.
