Brentford vs Chelsea Player Ratings: Henderson a vocal leader as Thiago lifts weight off shoulders - BBC Sport
Brentford
Caoimhin Kelleher: An accomplished display, although never required to make any outstanding saves. 6
Michael Kayode: Played a couple of sloppy passes and rarely ventured forward. 6
Kristoffer Ajer: A sizeable presence at the back despite coming under significant pressure from crosses in open play and set-pieces. 7
Jannik Schuster: The young defender excelled in his own box but looked nervous in possession on a few occasions, including an overhit backpass. He then set up the winner. 7
Keane Lewis-Potter: A poor clearance led to a Neto chance early on, but he was impressive on the counter-attack. 6
Yehor Yarmoliuk: On his 100th appearance, threatened with a powerful long-range effort and created Brentford's best chance shortly after half-time. 7
Vitaly Janelt: Did just enough to halt a Cole Palmer dribble early on, although he risked conceding a penalty. Provided a physical presence in midfield. 7
Mikkel Damsgaard: Not at his usual level from set-pieces or shooting from distance until an incredible whipped corner led to the opening goal. 6
Kevin Schade: Produced several pressure-relieving dribbles and had a shot blocked; played a part in the final two goals. 7
Igor Thiago: Worked hard but struggled in front of goal, eventually delivering with a late strike to seal victory. His celebration looked like a weight lifted off his shoulders. 7
Jaidon Anthony: Quiet first half but scored the opener after a response to missing a chance early on; provided an energetic performance. 7
Subs:
Mamadou Sangare (on 72, Yarmoliuk): Did his combative duties well. 7
Aaron Hickey (on 72, Kayode): A steady presence. 6
El Hadji Malick Diouf (on 81, Lewis-Potter): N/A
Dango Ouattara (on 81, Anthony): N/A
Fabio Carvalho (on 87, Damsgaard): Ghosted in nicely to add a goal late on. 7
Chelsea
Emiliano Martinez: Not faced with many opportunities but looked solid when called upon.
