Chelsea dominate Brentford and come within two points of Liverpool in the Premier League

Enzo Maresca’s protégés have patiently built their success, following Nicolas Jackson’s numerous misses. But when Chelsea’s point comes, the defenders come to his baton. On a cross from Noni Madueke, Marc Cucurella contorted himself to score with an acrobatic header and reward the vast domination of his team. Diligent and largely dominant, the Blues took time to complete the work and shuddered when Fabio Carvalho saw his recovery fail the crossbar (77th). But on his most difficult situation of the evening, Jackson saved his disappointing first 80 minutes. The Senegalese chained a short hook and a powerful shot at the near post to free his team (2-0, 80th).
