Kayode shines for Brentford in 3-0 win against Chelsea, earns Italy call-up

Michael Kayode marked his first senior Italy call-up with a strong performance during Brentford's 3-0 victory over Chelsea on September 18. The right-back was integral to the team's defense, following tactical instructions to maintain a solid backline while contributing to set pieces. Kayode, who previously helped Italy's U19 team clinch a Euro title, made ten appearances with the U21 squad before receiving the senior nod from Roberto Mancini. After this match, Kayode was substituted in the 69th minute with his team leading 1-0, celebrating both his call-up and the solid team performance.
