Brentford hammer London neighbours Chelsea 3-0

Brentford beat their big-spending west London rivals Chelsea 3-0 on ​Friday (September 18, 2026) with second-half goals by forwards Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago and Fabio ‌Carvalho condemning Xabi Alonso’s men to their third straight ​Premier League game without a win.

Anthony pounced in ⁠the 61st minute when he nodded in from close range after Jannik Schuster headed a corner back across the goal, which extended Chelsea’s long run ‌of league games without a clean sheet to 21.

Thiago made it 2-0 in the 83rd minute when Emiliano ‌Martínez saved from Kevin Schade on a breakaway but the ‌ball ⁠dropped to the Brazilian who made no mistake. Substitute ⁠Carvalho wrapped up the win when he turned in a cross by Schade in added time.

Schuster said he and his colleagues had turned up the pressure ​on Chelsea after the break ‌and the approach paid off.
