Chelsea Keep Title Dream Alive, Beat Brentford

Chelsea maintain their push for a Premier League title after defeating Brentford 2-1 on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea pushed Brentford back from the start, but it was not until the 43rd minute that Cucurella raced into the area and dived athletically to head Noni Madueke’s cross past goalkeeper Mark Flekken.

The Spain fullback’s night was spoiled after the fulltime whistle when he received a second yellow card apparently for shoving Kevin Schade.

Ten minutes from the end, Jackson squeezed the ball inside the near post for his ninth Premier League goal of the season after latching on to a pass from Enzo Fernandez.

Brentford always looked dangerous on the break and the ever busy Bryan Mbeumo pulled a goal back in the last minute of regulation time to give Chelsea, now four points clear of third-placed Arsenal, a nervy finish.
