Brentford player ratings vs Chelsea: Christian Eriksen shines as Vitaly Janelt scores brace

David Raya

Untroubled early on but made a superb save to deny Hakim Ziyech before the break. Nothing he could have done for Rudiger's goal. 8

Kristoffer Ajer

Superbly outmuscled Timo Werner early on to deny the Chelsea forward potentially scoring. 8

Pontus Jansson

Lead from the back superbly and galvanised the team superbly after going 1-0 down. 8

Ethan Pinnock

Superb along with Ajer and Jansson. Won his duels and handled Havertz and Lukaku well. 8

Mads Roerslev

Did well on his first start since the defeat at Man City in February. Kept his discipline against the marauding Alonso at LWB. 7

Christian Eriksen

What a place to get your Premier League goal for Brentford! Eriksen was immense even up till his goal and he sparked pandemonium in the away end to make 1-2. 8

Christian Norgaard

Immense in the centre of the midfield. Won his tackles and was superb from the first minute. 8

Vitaly Janelt

What a way to celebrate your new contract! The German took his goals superbly, and the delicate loop over Edouard Mendy to make 1-3 capped off a wonderful performance. 9

Rico Henry

Was immense up against Hakim Ziyech, with the left-back dealing with him firmly. 8

Bryan Mbeumo

A great performance from the Frenchman this afternoon! Two assists for Eriksen's goals to change the complexion of the contest would have done his confidence the world of good. 8

Ivan Toney

Came so close on a number of occasions but helped the team brilliantly with his link-up play. 8

Subs:

Mathias Jensen

Deputised well in replacing Janelt. 5

Yoane Wissa

What a cameo! An empathetic finish past Mendy to round off a wonderful afternoon! 6
