Mbeumo and Toney help Brentford to historic win with Eriksen pivotal in Chelsea drubbing

Yesterday was an unforgettable day in Brentford's history as they came from 1-0 down to beat Chelsea 1-4 at Stamford Bridge. A second successive league defeat appeared to be on the cards when Antonio Rudiger unleashed a long-range effort from distance early in the second half which David Raya ultimately could do nothing about.

However, the Bees showed immense resilience to record a historic victory, with Vitaly Janelt equalising only two minutes after the German's opener. It got even better when Christian Eriksen gave the Bees the lead for the first time four minutes to spark delirious scenes amongst 3,000 Brentford fans who made the short trip over to SW6.

Janelt got his second of the game with a delicate chip over Edouard Mendy, before substitute Yoane Wissa sealed it once and for all with a well-hit effort into the bottom right corner after Chelsea failed to clear a Brentford set-piece in the penalty area. Brentford reporter Uzzi Majid takes a look at some of the talking points from a pulsating victory over the Blues.
