jonnyl1973 on X: Next Sunday Liverpool will be cheering on Everton who play Chelsea and Chelsea will be cheering on Spurs who play Liverpool. If Chelsea wins they go top even if it’s only for a couple of hours.

Southampton please don't sack RM - then they are guaranteed to be relegated. Then Ipswich only have to be better than 2 other teams.

Chelsea
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson: "Very big win. Not an easy game. They're a difficult side to play against.
"It was difficult because they always play set-pieces. But we won. I'm very happy.
"Listen to the manager, respect the plan and we did that. It was more difficult at the end because they wanted to score again.
"We're getting to know each other better. Last year is finished, now we're concentrating on this year.
"I missed that one but I was thinking I'll get another one and try to score to help the team win. I did exactly that.
"It's all about getting more experience. I'm getting more confident.
"We're just trying to win every game and focus on the next one. I don't look at the table."

Ref very poor here tonight. Numerous simulations by Chelsea players. Cucurella is a horrible player. He should get Oscars and not cards.

Marc Cucurella's second yellow seemed to come for a shove on Kevin Schade.

Right, I got the raspberries. I don't think anyone else was sent off while I was gone.

I was just about to run to the fridge to get my raspberries when I saw that red card be dished out. You think you're safe from action after the final whistle...

It's all over. In more ways than one possibly.
The game was over by half-time.

Brentford probably have this final free-kick to create a chance. Marc Cucurella goes down holding his face - oh he's run straight into Sepp van den Berg and bought his team a free-kick.
That's probably it over for Brentford now.

flexiturb on X: Emlyn - and that late Brentford goal is why I swapped out Sanchez for another keeper. Chelsea are good this season, but keeping a clean sheet would clearly cause Stamford Bridge to collapse, so it doesn’t happen.

Chelsea scorer Marc Cucurella is booked for a lunge on Fabio Carvalho.

Should be a sixth as Timo Werner picks out fellow sub Brennan Johnson who shoots over from six yards.

Big few minutes for Chelsea and the title race here. They have a free-kick though which Cole Palmer knocks short.
