EPL: Jackson lashed as Chelsea bag 2-0 defeat to Brentford at Bridge
Chelsea woes are far from over, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Brentford at Stamford Bridge, with Nicolas Jackson lashed by a fan.
Jackson found himself under the spotlight when a fan voiced their frustration towards him during the match.
“Why don’t you score a goal?” the fan asked. In response, Jackson silenced the critic by putting a finger to his lips.
Meanwhile, the game ended 0-0 at half time, with Chelsea looking more promising to grab a win.
However, defensive lapses plagued the Blues as Brentford seized the lead, with Ethan Pinnock capitalizing on a cross inside Chelsea’s box.
Frustrations grew evident in the latter stages of the game, resulting in Jesus Perez, Pochettino’s assistant, being sent off after a heated exchange with the Brentford bench.
Bryan Mbeumo sealed the victory for Brentford in stoppage time, netting an open goal after Chelsea’s goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, ventured forward for a corner.
The defeat marks Chelsea’s fourth loss in the Premier League, ending their impressive run of form in the current month.
