Brentford claims 3-0 win over Chelsea in London rivalry

Brentford secured a dominant 3-0 victory against Chelsea at the Gtech Community Stadium on September 19.

Igor Thiago added another from a rebound, followed by a stoppage-time goal from Fabio Carvalho. This loss marks another setback for Chelsea, who have faced criticism for their defensive weaknesses, including conceding a Premier League high of 12 goals this season. Stand-in captain Levi Colwill acknowledged that Chelsea needs to improve, particularly at set pieces, as the team reflected on the defeat during the international break.
