Brentford soared to third in the Premier League on Friday with a dominant 3-0 victory over west London rivals Chelsea at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday September 19, extending their winless league run to three games.

Brentford capitalized on defensive lapses as Jaidon Anthony opened the scoring from a 61st-minute corner.
