All the gear, no idea
Chelsea dominated the game today, with more shots and more possession than Brentford, but were once again left wanting in front of goal.
Cole Palmer was fantastic in the build up, but often his creativity was wasted by those in front of him.
Nicolas Jackson looked toothless, and Raheem Sterling wasted a big chance in the first half, with Marc Cucurella missing two big shots too.
It seems the Blues do still need that marquee striker signing in January, the Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen rumours will be back in full swing this week.

Man of the match
The SunSport man of the match award today goes to Ethan Pinnock at the back for Brentford.
He opened the scoring, but was also solid at the back and helped massively in terms of shutting out the Chelsea attack.
Not bad for a lad who was playing in non-league for Forest Green Rovers just a few years back.
Great showing.

They leapfrogged them in the table today too, great stuff.
