Breaking: Again, Brentford beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo scored as Brentford beat Chelsea 2-0 on Saturday to earn their third straight victory at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea dominated possession but they struggled to create chances before Pinnock’s header broke the deadlock after the interval.

The Blues huffed and puffed in search of a late equaliser but Brentford ended up breaking away themselves in stoppage time to put the result beyond doubt.

Brentford, with the win, leapfrogged Chelsea into 10th in the Premier League table, pushing Pochettino’s men fall into the bottom half.

The victory means Brentford become the first side to ever win their first three Premier League away games against Chelsea.

Chelsea host Championship side Blackburn in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday.

The Blues then return to Premier League action with a trip to Tottenham on November 6.

Brentford’s next game is at home to West Ham on Saturday, November 4.
