Brentford dismantle Chelsea 3-0, climb to third
Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago, and Fábio Carvalho all scored in the second half as Xabi Alonso's Chelsea dropped to seventh.
Brentford beat Chelsea 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium, with Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago, and Fábio Carvalho all scoring in a one-sided second half after a goalless first 45 minutes. The result lifts Brentford to third in the table while Chelsea slip to seventh.
Xabi Alonso made five changes for the trip, handing Jordan Henderson his Chelsea debut, but the reshuffled side couldn't find an answer once Brentford took control after the break. It's Chelsea's third winless league match in four — a stretch that's starting to test the patience that came with Alonso's four-year deal.
Why it matters. Three defeats in four games is a rough stretch for a manager on a marquee new contract.
