Chelsea were made to work for their first Premier League win under Liam Rosenior, but the eventual routine look of a 2-0 scoreline, complete with a first clean sheet of his reign, will have hit the spot.
While Brentford had chances through Mathias Jensen, Mikkel Damsgaard and Kevin Schade, Chelsea were deserved winners and scored either side of the interval through Joao Pedro and then Cole Palmer.
