Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Chelsea FC launch into their encounter with Brentford FC.
  • 5' Chelsea FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' It’s high time Thomas Frank made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Fabio Carvalho is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Chelsea FC.
  • 20' Vitaly Janelt has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 338 appearances.
  • 25' The 25-year-old Enzo Fernandez has been sensational this season — 4 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 30' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-5-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 43' Cucurella doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 48' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brentford FC that had 346 games and scored 510 goals.

  • 73' Robert Sanchez, a Spain goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 76' Yegor Yarmolyuk makes way for Fabio Carvalho at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Brentford FC.
  • 80' GOAL! Nicolas Jackson scores on 80. Assisted by Enzo Fernandez
  • 83' Christopher Nkunku gets the nod from Chelsea FC. He replaces Nicolas Jackson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 86' It is a substitution in Brentford FC team. Keane Lewis-Potter is replaced by Jayden Meghoma on 86 minute.
  • 90' Brilliant from the ! Bryan Mbeumo makes it 2-1 with a superb finish on 90.
