Chelsea capitulated at home to Brentford as goals from Janelt, Eriksen and Wissa saw the Bees thrash the European champions.

Moments later, he found himself through on goal and while his first touch got past Raya, it ended on the wrong side of the post. Hakim Ziyech had come closest, forcing David Raya into a fingertip save and at the other end, Ivan Toney heading over after winning an aerial battle with Rudiger. Brentford netted four times in a remarkable second half after falling behind to a 35-yard strike from Antonio Rudiger, whose speculative efforts have become a running joke among Chelsea fans.

He did have the ball in the net in the second period as Chelsea attempted to mount a comeback, having conceded three times in quick succession, but the goal was ruled out for handball. Ziyech had a little bit more joy in the second half and after he was moved onto the left, but he will have wanted to offer a bigger creative threat. The Brazilian was more composed in the middle of a three, but the visitors were ahead at that stage of the contest. 5 There were a couple of nice lay-offs from the Belgium international, but he didn't have a clear sight of goal, having been sent on to help rescue the game. He was also unable to stop the ball across the penalty area for Brentford's second, although he was left in a two-on-one situation. football.london Live BlogChelsea vs Brentford highlights: Eriksen, Wissa and Janelt goals cancel out Rudiger strikeThe Blues welcome the Bees to Stamford Bridge having already played twice this season. And that continued against Brentford. Used as an eight, the Frenchman had a licence to get forward but very rarely made an impact in the final third. The movement of the Brentford front two, Toney and Bryan Mbeumo, was problematic for the Brazilian, and the Bees were able to drag him out of position when part of a centre-back duo. 6 Deployed at right-back, the Chelsea captain was a little more reserved in his attacking runs, although when he did offer an overlap, he rarely got the ball from Hakim Ziyech. Azpilicueta dropped in on the right of a back three after Chelsea had fallen behind and looked more comfortable. He was also at fault for the Bees' fourth late on as he sliced a clearance into the path of Yoane Wissa. 5 He started the game with two poor passes and didn't truly improve from there. After the break, he had to pick the ball out of his net three times in quick succession as Brentford opened up a surprise lead. There was little the Chelsea goalkeeper could do about the three goals as he was left unusually exposed by the Chelsea defenders in front of him.

Chelsea will be hoping to earn their third win of the season over Thomas Frank's side and second following an international break after Ben Chilwell's strike separated the sides on October. The Blues could only muster five shots on target that afternoon as Brentford bombarded their goal however, and the Bees will hope to capitalise more efficiently with their efforts this afternoon. Welcome to football.london's live coverage of Chelsea vs Brentford at Stamford Bridge. The international break is finally over and Premier League football returns with the Blues looking to continue their winning stretch.

Chelsea suffered a first home league defeat since September as an eventful second half at Stamford Bridge saw visitors Brentford score four times to secure ...

However, this one was special, a sweet shot that whistled through the air and left Raya grasping in vain as it flew past him and into the back of the net via the inside of the post.Rudiger’s celebrations reflected the sense of surprise in the stadium as he sprinted to the touchline and embraced Tuchel, though our joy proved shortlived as the Bees hit back with a double sting of their own.Bryan Mbeumo almost levelled instantly but could only scuff a shot into the ground and then the grateful gloves of Mendy. However, that went down as an unheeded warning and Mendy was soon beaten by Janelt, who finished a slick move with a tidy left-footed finish rifled into the top corner.All of a sudden, the game was wide open and Havertz soon teed up a chance for Werner, whose low drive was blocked well by Kristoffer Ajer. Down the other end went Brentford and continued the mad resumption by making it 2-1 as Eriksen fired high into the roof of the net from close range, with Mbeumo once again acting as provider.It was the first time we had conceded two in the league since Liverpool’s draw at the Bridge in early January but Thomas Frank’s plucky visitors somehow found a way to extend their lead seven minutes later. He then almost punished a slow clearance from Raya with some quick closing down, the ball rebounding dangerously but dropping just wide.Perhaps his best opportunity came soon after from a chance fashioned by Loftus-Cheek and Kovacic, the latter sliding a neat pass into the German’s path, though a flicked finish trickled agonisingly wide of the far post and with that seemingly went Chelsea’s chances of instigating an unlikely comeback.Brentford added a gloss to the scoreline to secure their biggest-ever win against the Blues when substitute Wissa netted just two minutes after coming on, capitalising on a moment of confusion as both Thiago Silva and Rudiger attempted to clear the same ball. Kante soon provided some invention and incision, clipping a neat pass forward to find Mount’s run, though the dropping ball made it a difficult chance for our number 19 and his volley was comfortable for Raya to claim.At least the man between the posts for Brentford was being put to sterner work as the half progressed, a week on from making his debut for the Spanish national team, although a customary strike from distance by Rudiger provided little concern before his best save of the half came to thwart Ziyech.Mount was pestering and plotting again, foiled in trying to find Werner but more successful in teeing up the Moroccan on his potent left foot. Vitaly Janelt got two of those either side of Christian Eriksen’s smart close-range finish and the damage was compounded moments before the end when substitute Yoan Wissa made it 4-1 by capitalising on mistakes in the Blues box.The result leaves Thomas Tuchel’s side eight points clear of fifth place in the Premier League but brings our 17-game unbeaten home run to a crushing end.Tuchel made four changes from our previous outing prior to the international break, a 2-0 FA Cup win at Middlesbrough. Marcos Alonso, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and N’Golo Kante were the returning quartet, with the latter making his 250th appearance for the Blues.The German duo were joined in attack by Ziyech, while Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek continued in midfield alongside Kante. Meanwhile, Alonso replaced Malang Sarr in an otherwise unchanged defence.For Brentford, there were two changes as Eriksen and Mads Roerslev came in, while top scorer Toney continued up top following seven goals in his past six Premier League matches.This was a first Stamford Bridge league meeting between the two west London sides in 75 years and the Bees started like a team desperate to make up for lost time in the capital sunshine.Eriksen had a sighter within the opening moments of kick-off from a free-kick but couldn’t get the ball to dip quickly enough, though it was a sign of the visitors beginning on the front foot.Striker Toney has been prolific in recent weeks since his return from injury and the man currently seventh in the league’s scoring charts had three decent opportunities in the first 10 minutes.The first of those was gifted following a misplaced Edouard Mendy pass out from the back, the forward attempting to chip our African champion but not quite mastering the execution. Mount proved to be the chief protagonist, collecting a pass from just outside the box but curling an attempt high and wide.Nevertheless, it was a moment that proved a spark for the hosts and Loftus-Cheek was next to have a try after half an hour, driving forward in his typical fashion from halfway into the Brentford half. Chelsea suffered a first home league defeat since September as an eventful second half at Stamford Bridge saw visitors Brentford score four times to secure a long-awaited win in SW6. The Bees’ last victory at the Bridge came six months before the start of the Second World War and so this provided a significant shot in the arm for their hopes of retaining Premier League status, while for the Blues it proved our heaviest loss since a 5-2 home reverse to West Brom almost a year ago to the day.The first period was tentative and quiet, even if Brentford did have the best of the play and threatened occasionally through Ivan Toney. Edouard Mendy pulled off one impressive save down low to his right, while David Raya in the opposite goal had to be similarly alert when pushing over a Hakim Ziyech effort late in the half.Yet it was after the break that this game burst into life, initiated by the most unlikeliest of long-range goals scored by Antonio Rudiger, the German’s strike whistling past Raya and in off the post.That was followed by a similarly incomprehensible turnaround as Brentford scored three in the next 13 minutes.

Chelsea vs Brentford: Four goals scored in 15 minutes saw the Blues go 1-0 up, before quickly surrendering in a 4-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham are currently eight points back in 5th, but Antonio Conte has Spurs in their best form of the season, just as Chelsea are potentially running out of gas. With the benefit of hindsight, signing Eriksen has proven a masterstroke for Thomas Frank’s side, adding a player of elite quality to an already talented side just as it returns to health and fitness, and he’s now reaping an abundance of rewards. The Gunners will pull level on games played (29) when they visit Crystal Palace on Monday, at which point they can reduce the gap from five to two.

The Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, insisted there was no need to overreact after side's 4-1 loss to Brentford and claimed his players weren't distracted by ...

“Why should we be distracted and think about Real Madrid when we are one goal ahead? “Every team has 11 players but sometimes you need key players to lift the rest by both playing well and their personality. “After so many wins and so many good results, I will now refuse to make a drama out of it,” he said. A reminder to keep on going and it would come with more fluidity. There are some reasons which we can put on us and we will digest it. Brentford made a lot of the 10 minutes we gave them.
