Ethan Pinnock last found the net for Brentford in a shock 1-0 victory over Manchester City on the final day of the previous season.
Brentford clinched their third Premier League win this campaign, defeating a profligate Chelsea side in a West London showdown at Stamford Bridge. Although Chelsea seemed to have the upper hand for most of the match, they paid dearly for their inefficiency, falling victim to Ethan Pinnock’s powerhouse header off a sublime Bryan Mbeumo cross.
In a daring move, Chelsea’s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez ventured far from his post during a late-game corner. Seizing the opportunity, Neal Maupay orchestrated a swift Brentford counter-attack, ultimately setting up Mbeumo to double the Bees’ advantage.
Chelsea had a near-miss in the first half when Noni Madueke’s attempt rattled the woodwork. However, this summed up their day as they registered their ninth home loss of the year, largely due to their lackluster finishing. Brentford’s goalie Mark Flekken was barely tested throughout the match, and his team demonstrated rock-solid defending, capitalizing on Chelsea’s vulnerabilities through rapid counter-attacks.
