The interval came at a good time for Brentford, who was slightly below the pump. This would be a huge point if they see it – as things stand, they are moving nine points away from falling. A long way, though. 1648910855

43 minutes: Chelsea are definitely on top now. However, they have to do more with the ball in the last third.

This was Chelsea’s best chance and Loftus-Chick should have done better since he had created an opportunity he created. Brentford’s defense opened up to him – and even if he had to shoot from about 20 yards, he should have chosen his position better. instead of shooting directly at the goalkeeper. 1648910073 32 minutes: Chelsea’s best chance of the game. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has a nice opportunity to score but his shot is not quite accurate and the ball misses the target. 1648909782
