Christian Eriksen scores his first club goal since returning to soccer! Brentford lead 2-1. There have been THREE Goals in the past 8 minutes! : @USA_Network ...

Yoane Wissa came into the match in the 85th minute and, at this point, teams should be scared of him entering as only a minute later he put Brentford up 4-1. Janelt completed his brace in the 60th minute, this time scoring with thanks to an assist from Ivan Toney. Chelsea did all they could to change the tide with N'Golo Kante and Timo Werner being taken out for Romelu Lukaku and Mateo Kovacic but it wouldn't be enough. Eriksen is fully back in the thick of things after recovery from the heart attack he had on the field for Denmark at Euro 2020.

A goal for Christian Eriksen, two from Vitaly Janelt and a late addition from Yoane Wissa earned Brentford a shock 4-1 comeback victory over west London ...

Brentford had already sent out warning signs with Toney having three chances in the first 20 minutes, firing over the bar and testing Edouard Mendy with a shot that needed tipping round the post. Hakim Ziyech had the best chance of the first half for Chelsea, letting rip a powerful shot from the right that David Raya tipped over the bar in the 38th minute. It was Brentford's first Premier League visit to Stamford Bridge and it looked to be going the European Champions' way when centre back Antonio Rudiger brought the game to life after a dull first half with his screamer of a shot from about 35 metres flying in off the post.

* James on for Alonso after the equalizer, initially at left back, then switching to right wing-back with Chelsea going to a back-three for the final half hour. But the lead was very short-lived, with Brentford equalizing almost immediately after, then scoring not once but twice more in the next ten minutes to completely turn things around. We found our first shot after 20 minutes and the first shot on target after 30.

Brentford thrashed Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon as they came from behind to seal a historic win in west London.

A minute later and Kai Havertz rocketed the ball into the roof of the Brentford net after a Chelsea free kick but the goal was called off for a handball against the German. An hour into the game and Janelt registered his second goal as he ran onto Ivan Toney's pass to delicately chip the ball over Edouard Mendy, making it 3-1 in favour of the away side. 54 minutes in and Mbeumo earned himself a second assist as he slid the ball across the Chelsea goal frame to set up Christian Eriksen for the Bees' second goal. It just took three minutes in the second half for Antonio Rudiger to register his side's first goal after he took it upon himself to rocket the ball into the back of the net from well outside the Brentford penalty area. After a darting run that saw him twist and turn through the Brentford midfield, he took the ball onto his left and fired a shot from outside the box straight into the hands of David Raya. The first real chance of the game fell to Ivan Toney of Brentford six minutes in as Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy carelessly gave the ball straight to the feet of the Bees' striker.

Chelsea’s fans started the day promising a protest against prospective new owners, the Ricketts family, with the club owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich up for sale. Arsenal could trim the deficit to Chelsea to two points with a win at Crystal Palace on Monday. Brentford is 11 points clear of the relegation zone after its best win since promotion.

"I don't know why," said manager Thomas Tuchel of Chelsea's first loss to Brentford since 1939, a 4-1 rout on Saturday.

They went through their full repertoire of songs, and the third brought the first rendition of "We're just a bus stop in Hounslow" -- a self-deprecating song referring to previous bating from Queens Park Rangers fans. After the third goal we had a disallowed goal and then we had a big, big chance from Kai Havertz and we missed them. "We timed it perfectly to score the four goals in front of our fans," Frank said. He will hope this result was a mere blip rather than the start of the season falling apart. He said prematch the team "were not affected" by the protests, but still it was a little eerie outside the stadium with the giant merchandise shop shut, and souvenir vans lying empty. Lesser teams would have buckled having gone behind, but Brentford used it as the fillip to go up another gear and Janelt struck the equaliser just two minutes later. In their first season in the Premier League, this was Brentford's biggest win of the campaign, and one of the most impressive in the club's history. Normally the goal is exactly what we wanted to open up new spaces but the opposite happened, and I don't know why." In a CST survey, they said 77% of its members did not back the Ricketts' bid. What followed was a brutal exposure of the hosts' fragile state as Christian Eriksen, Mads Roerslev and Bryan Mbuemo orchestrated a historic 4-1 win for Brentford. With the club up for sale, four bids remain ahead of the April 11 deadline. "Christian is a top player," Frank said Saturday. "He's an ongoing fairytale and I'm very pleased for that.

Toney had a shot deflected wide and then met the resulting corner with a header that was blocked. Wissa reacted first and drilled a shot across Mendy and in to the far corner to make sure there was no way back for Chelsea. Janelt lifted the ball over Mendy and in to the net. Brentford had come from behind to shock Chelsea with two goals in five minutes, but that wasn’t the end of it. The next pass, from Nørgaard, found Mbeumo on the edge of the penalty area and he slipped it to his left. Raya came to meet an inswinging corner under pressure from Kai Havertz. The ball looped up and Marcos Alonso had a header deflect on to the roof of the net. He stepped out of the inside left channel and his shot from 30 yards swerved in, so it cannoned the post and nestled in the back of the net. Mendy saved from Toney at the near post and was on the end of another great move soon after. Chelsea tried to play out but a poor pass from goalkeeper Édouard Mendy gave Toney possession on the right side of the penalty area. The Bees had the first effort when Eriksen curled a free kick over from 25 yards and Brentford created chances both in open play and from set pieces. Eriksen saw a lot of the ball in the centre of midfield and linked effectively with Janelt and Christian Nørgaard in the middle of the pitch. The Bees fell behind to a long range strike from Antonio Rüdiger that may end up being forgotten but was the best of the afternoon.

“I was actually not in doubt… Brentford supporters had felt hard done by when Chelsea beat them 1-0 at the Brentford Community Stadium in October despite a second-half bombardment of the visitors’ goal by the Bees. The feeling was shared by the visiting Brentford fans who celebrated one of the greatest results in the history of their club against their more illustrious west London neighbours.

Only Beckham, with 18, has scored more direct free kick goals in Premier League history than Ward-Prowse, who has moved on to 13.The point saw Leeds move eight points clear of the bottom three under American manager Jesse Marsch.

What we did in the past, when we won 14 games in a row, now we have to win eight, otherwise we will not be champions.”If third-placed Chelsea had any faint ambitions of catching the top two, they were surely extinguished after conceding four second-half goals in a stunning 4-1 home loss to London rival Brentford.One of Brentford's scorers at Stamford Bridge was Christian Eriksen, who netted the second for his first goal in the Premier League since returning from suffering a cardiac arrest at last year's European Championship.

You never know what’s going to happen after an international break,” said City boss Pep Guardiola. “It was made more complicated by the fact we couldn’t score the third goal.” they were lucky and clinical enough to get three goals.” We were not aware of enough of the danger, were sloppy with the defending and got punished…
