Brentford’s Fábio Carvalho hits last-gasp equaliser to frustrate Chelsea

Even if Enzo Maresca is blessed with one of the deepest squads in the Premier League, heavy rotation presented a risk factor for Chelsea. The Italian rolled the dice, and Chelsea duly dropped two points from a game they thought they had rescued.

Brentford, despite a change of personnel and manager, were motivated and highly dangerous. Keith Andrews’ team closely resembled the Thomas Frank era in their dedication and spirit. Despite Moisés Caicedo’s pile-driving goal, Chelsea’s second, they maintained a heavy threat. Robert Sánchez was asked to make a scrabbling save from Dango Ouattara’s snap shot but that would not be the last of it; in the 95th minute, Fábio Carvalho bundled home, Chelsea’s defenders allowing the substitute to tap in unmarked at the back post from a long throw.
