Axel Disasi’s late header salvaged a 2-2 draw for Chelsea against Brentford in a thrilling Premier League encounter. Despite dominating possession in the first half, Chelsea found themselves trailing after Yoane Wissa’s acrobatic volley and Mads Roerslev’s equalizer canceled out Nicolas Jackson’s opener.
Chelsea, buoyed by their midweek FA Cup victory, struggled to convert their dominance into goals, with Mauricio Pochettino left frustrated on his 52nd birthday. Despite a spirited comeback to level the score, Chelsea’s inability to secure a win highlighted their ongoing struggles.
For Brentford, it was another missed opportunity as defensive lapses cost them dearly once again. Despite taking the lead through Wissa’s sensational strike, Brentford conceded late, extending their winless streak in the league.
Nicolas Jackson’s performance underscored Chelsea’s need for a clinical striker, with his missed opportunities raising concerns about his finishing. Meanwhile, Sergio Reguilon’s impactful display for Brentford earned him the player of the match accolade, showcasing his defensive prowess and attacking threat down the flank.
The draw leaves Chelsea in 11th place, while Brentford climb to 16th, as both teams continue their respective battles in the Premier League.
