'Ragged at the back' - How the national media reacted to Chelsea's goalless draw at Brentford

Graham Potter's winning run came to an end against Brentford with a frustrating 0-0 draw. The new boss continued an impressive unbeaten start to life, winning five of his seven games in charge, but the away draw left fans still wanting more.
