In a historic match, Brentford made headlines by becoming the first team in the Premier League era to win their first three matches at Stamford Bridge.
The Bees’ remarkable victory over Chelsea was secured by two well-crafted goals from Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men had previously shown signs of improvement with three wins and a draw in their last four matches, but they were unable to maintain their momentum against an impressive Brentford side.
The game followed a similar pattern to the Bees’ two previous visits to their west London rivals, with Chelsea dominating possession but struggling to convert their chances.

Despite creating several opportunities, Chelsea’s wastefulness was punished when an unmarked Ethan Pinnock headed in the opener just before the hour mark.
Brentford defended resolutely and were content to soak up the pressure, frustrating their opponents with a solid defensive display.
The Blues’ creativity and quality were found wanting as they failed to break down the visitors, who put in a disciplined performance.
Brentford sealed the win deep into stoppage time through Bryan Mbeumo’s well-executed breakaway goal, delighting their fans and securing a memorable victory for their team.
