Chelsea's defensive and set-piece woes continued under Xabi Alonso as Brentford claimed an emphatic 3-0 victory in the west London derby.

It was all too easy for Brentford to win it as first Mikkel Damsgaard's corner was nodded across by Jannik Schuster, leaving Jaidon Anthony to nod home unmarked from a few yards out. Then with Chelsea pushing for a leveller and moving to a back four, Brentford hit the Blues on the counter as Kevin Schade broke through. His one-on-one was saved by Emiliano Martinez but Igor Thiago struck home from close range to end his seven-game goal drought.

And with virtually the last kick of the game, Fabio Carvalho scored his first Premier League goal since his near-year-long injury lay-off after tucking home Schade's cross while unmarked at the far post.

Chelsea have now conceded 12 goals - the most in the league - from five Premier League games as the wait for their first top-flight clean sheet of the season goes on. Unimpressive in defence, but in attack, Chelsea weren't much better - clearly missing the injured Joao Pedro, with replacement Danny Welbeck failing to generate any clear chances in his place. Brentford - who have become the first team to stop Chelsea scoring this season - continue their unbeaten start to the season to go up to third. Speaking of three, that's the number of Premier League games without a win for Alonso's Chelsea.
