Brentford extend unbeaten run with 3‑0 victory over Chelsea

Brentford kept their unbeaten streak alive by beating Chelsea three to nil on Friday. Chelsea’s defence collapsed again, allowing the hosts to dominate. Striker Joao Pedro missed the match after a knee injury forced him out. His absence broke new manager Xabi Alonso’s previously free‑scoring line‑up that had included Cole Palmer and club‑record £117m signing Morgan Rogers. Danny Welbeck came on for the injured Brazilian but failed to create a clear chance. Chelsea could not respond, and the three goals sealed a comfortable win for Brentford.
