| Brentford coach Keith Andrews' reaction after Brentford scored their 3rd goal against Chelsea 90+5' |
Brentford vs Chelsea ended 3-0 in favour of Brentford as the hosts produced a dominant second-half performance to extend their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
Jaidon Anthony opened the scoring in the 61st minute after Mikkel Damsgaard delivered a corner that Jannik Schuster headed back across goal.
Anthony was left unmarked and headed the ball into the net from close range for his first Brentford goal.
Chelsea attempted to respond but struggled to create clear opportunities despite having more possession. Brentford remained organised and looked dangerous whenever they broke forward.
The hosts doubled their advantage in the 83rd minute after Kevin Schade was played through on the counter-attack.

Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martínez saved Schade’s effort, but the rebound fell to Igor Thiago, who finished into an empty net for his first Premier League goal of the season.
Fábio Carvalho then completed the scoring in stoppage time. Schade’s low cross took a deflection before Carvalho arrived at the far post and finished from close range to make it 3-0.
Chelsea had chances during a largely uneventful first half, with Pedro Neto among the players who threatened the Brentford goal. However, the visitors were unable to turn their possession into enough clear-cut opportunities.
The defeat means Chelsea have now gone three Premier League matches without a victory, while Brentford remain unbeaten after five league games. The result also moved Brentford up to third place in the Premier League table with nine points.
For Brentford manager Keith Andrews, the victory provided a memorable result against their west London neighbours. The club also recorded its best five-game start to a Premier League season, surpassing its previous best of eight points from the opening five matches.
The 3-0 victory marked Brentford’s first home Premier League win over Chelsea and continued their strong start to the 2026/27 campaign. Chelsea, meanwhile, will look to end their winless run in their next league fixture.
