Chelsea's loss to Brentford was so out of the blue, it's difficult to know just how much to take from it.
While the European champions were clearly nowhere near their best in the 4-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge, they came up against an opponent that were ruthless in their finishing and executed a gameplan to perfection. Thomas Tuchel also lamented the profligacy of his own players throughout.
Chelsea cannot afford to dwell on the defeat anyway, as a colossal Champions League quarter-final first leg awaits them this week. They host Real Madrid at the Bridge, where fans will be ready to provide a lively backdrop and no doubt an uplift in performance from Saturday.
