Brentford delivered a dominant 3-0 Premier League victory over Chelsea at the Gtech Community Stadium on Friday night. The result solidifies their strong start to the season, moving them up to fourth place with nine points from five games.
Jaidon Anthony broke the deadlock in the 61st minute, heading home from a corner. Igor Thiago doubled the lead late on, converting after Kevin Schade’s initial effort was saved. Fabio Carvalho added a third in stoppage time to complete the rout.
Chelsea captain Levi Colwill offered a frank assessment after the match. "Second half we weren't good enough," Colwill said. "We've got a lot to work on over the international break." He admitted his side had been bullied, particularly at set-pieces.
The win extends Brentford's unbeaten run to five matches, with their recent form reading two wins and three draws. Kevin Schade, who provided the assist for the second goal, is the club's top scorer this season with three goals in five appearances.
For Chelsea, the defeat was a third consecutive league loss and they have now conceded a league-high 12 goals.
