Brentford, with four lashes, disarmed Chelsea, inflicted their first defeat at home since October, the hardest of the season, and sets off the ‘Blues’ alarms four days after receiving Real Madrid (1-4) .
Chelsea suffered its first defeat since Roman Abramovich announced the sale of the club and in the worst possible way. Until this Saturday, he had won all six games in that time. And it wasn’t just any defeat, it was one of the worst since Thomas Tuchel came to the bench.
Nothing foreshadowed it. Everything indicated that the streak would continue when Antonio Rudiger unblocked the duel at Stamford Bridge, which had gone 0-0 at halftime, with a great goal from 35 meters. A shot out of nowhere that hit a post and went into David Raya’s goal. A real goal.
