Brentford showed their resilience in dramatic fashion at the Gtech Community Stadium as Fabio Carvalho struck deep into stoppage time to snatch a 2-2 draw against Chelsea, Softfootball reports.
The late equaliser denied Enzo Maresca's side the chance to go top of the Premier League and highlighted just how tricky life can be against a Brentford team still finding their identity after the departures of Bryan Mbuemo to Manchester United , and Yoane Wissa to Newcastle.
Chelsea looked sluggish early on, with the absence of Cole Palmer's creativity evident as they failed to create much in a flat first half. Brentford, however, made the most of their few openings, Jordan Henderson slipping Kevin Schade through on goal before the winger cut inside Tosin Adarabioyo and fired past Robert Sanchez via a deflection. Fernandez came closest to levelling when his corner struck the post, but the Blues went into the break trailing.
