Chelsea vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Bryan Mbeumo exposes Robert Sanchez

Brentford snatched a 2-0 win away at Chelsea on Saturday thanks to a header by defender Ethan Pinnock and a last-minute breakaway goal by Bryan Mbeumo as the expensively assembled Blues failed to turn possession into goals once again.

Pinnock, undetected by Chelsea's defence, connected powerfully with an Mbeumo cross in the 58th minute, stunning the hosts who had spent much of the game buzzing around the Bees' penalty area but without creating many clear chances.

As the Blues poured forward in the 96th minute in search of a late equalizer, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez ventured up for a corner only to be caught out when the visitors broke away and Mbeumo scored into an empty net.

Chelsea have now won only one of their last 13 home league games, a dismal run stretching back into last season when they fired managers Thomas Tuchel and then Graham Potter.

The hosts started the west London derby on the front foot and winger Noni Madueke almost broke the deadlock in the first half when his curling shot hit the crossbar with 10 minutes on the clock.

But Brentford soaked up everything Chelsea could throw at them with centre forward Nicolas Jackson, back in the starting 11 after an injury, unable to provide much of a threat.

Brentford leap-frogged their neighbours into 10th spot, while Chelsea dropped to 11th ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures.

BLOCKED!!! Sterling steps his way past two challenges before shooting from the edge of the area, but Pinnock slides in bravely to make a superb block!

13:44

SAVED!!! Ajer pops up in the box to connect with Roerslev's ball in behind, and cuts it back into the middle. Janelt arrives late to strike a first-time shot goalwards, but his effort is hit straight at Sanchez and the Chelsea goalkeeper makes the break!

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:38

No changes from either side at the break, as Jackson and Palmer get the second period up and running for the hosts!

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:38

The teams return ahead of the second half, and after a first 45 minutes marred by missed chances, Chelsea will need to open the scoring as soon as they possibly can if they're to make that dominance count!

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:28

We're all square at the break, with hosts Chelsea having done everything but score in the first 45 minutes! It's been one-way traffic for much of the half, but despite Chelsea piling numbers forward at every available opportunity, they've been unable to beat Flekken or force him into any difficult saves of note. The Bees keeper has been called into action by Gallagher and Cucurella's shots on goal, and Madueke has struck the crossbar, but Jackson, Sterling and Madueke again have all put glorious chances high and wide of the target. Brentford have been limited to just two efforts wide from Mbeumo and Hickey, but there's no denying their effort and organisation in defence is playing a big part in Chelsea's frustrations so far.

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:21

HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 BRENTFORD.

13:20

A foot injury to Jensen takes a minute or so for the Brentford medical team to deal with, meaning we'll likely run beyond the allocated minutes at the end of this half.

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:14

CHANCE!!! Madueke's cut-back from the byline is met late by Cucurella arriving in the centre, but he can't strike the ball cleanly and it loops straight into Flekken's gloves!

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:13

WIDE!!! Another golden chance for the Blues! Cucurella's floated cross into the box is met by Ajer, but his flicked header only falls to Madueke. Unmarked at the far post, the winger fires goalwards, but blasts the ball past the wrong side of the right-hand post!

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:11

After Madueke's surging run into the box is thwarted by Hickey, Chelsea look to the left side, but Gallagher's cross-field ball to Sterling can't be kept in the field of play by the England winger!

13:08

CHANCE!!! Disasi fires a low ball at pace to the feet of Jackson, but the striker can't quite connect before the pass is dived upon by Flekken for the Bees!

13:07

Sterling spots the run of Caicedo and dinks the ball towards the back post, but it's far too close to Flekken and the Brentford goalkeeper collects.

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:07

Chelsea win a second successive corner on the opposite side, but Gallagher's attempt to play the ball short to Palmer is easily read and dealt with by Mbeumo.

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:06

Sterling darts around the outside of Roerslev and drills a low cross into the box, but Pinnock steps in to put the ball behind for the game's very first corner!

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:05

Brentford are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League London derbies, winning six, which is their longest run without defeat against London sides in history. Away from home they’ve won their last three such games, never winning four in a row on the road before.

Chelsea vs Brentford

13:01

Flekken launches a long Brentford free-kick into the box, but Wissa's attempt at a shot is cleared and forward come Chelsea. Jackson leads the charge, but Roerslev and Mbeumo get back at speed to win the ball for the Bees.

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:59

Sterling goes down under pressure from Roerslev as the pair contest another reverse ball into the box from Palmer, but both the on-field referee and VAR are in agreement that the contact wasn't worthy of a penalty.

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:58

Disasi's throughball into the box opens Brentford up and gives Sterling space to cross, but neither Palmer nor Gallagher can connect and another chance goes begging!

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:57

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:56

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:54

SAVED!!! Chelsea spurn their best chance yet to go ahead!! Palmer's scooped ball into the six-yard bx is met by the arriving Cucurella on the fly, but he can only volley straight into the midriff of Flekken!

Chelsea have won more points (seven) and scored more goals (eight) in their last three Premier League games than they did in their previous nine beforehand (six points, seven goals). Building.

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:48

SAVED!!! Collins gets in the way of another effort, this time from Jackson, but Chelsea just keep on coming at the Bees. Gallagher finds shooting space and lets fly from 25 yards, but Flekken gets down well to parry his low drive away from danger!

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:48

Roerslev's low cross off a wide pass from Wissa is cut out, and Chelsea set off on the break once more. It's played across to Sterling, who tees up Madueke, but his latest effort is well blocked by Collins!

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:47

OFF THE WOODWORK!!! The Chelsea counter-attack almost works a treat, as Sanchez's out-ball is played forward by Gallagher to Madueke. He steps onto his left foot and curls a shot towards goal, which has Flekken beaten all ends up before bouncing back off the crossbar!

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:45

CHANCE!! Mbeumo is put in behind the defence by Janelt's pass, but the Brentford forward is forced to shoot from a tight angle and smashes the ball into the side netting! Mbeumo wants a corner but it doesn't come, as Sanchez picks the ball up quickly looking to spark a counter-attack!

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:41

WIDE!!! Cucurella and Jackson combine down the left and the Chelsea striker cuts inside looking for shooting space. He fires an effort goalwards from the edge of the box, but it's safe enough for Flekken to leave as the ball curls around the far post!

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:39

Chelsea have won just two of their last 12 London derbies in the Premier League, beating Crystal Palace 1-0 in January and Fulham 2-0 earlier this month. The Blues threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Arsenal in their most recent match.

Chelsea vs Brentford

12:37

CHANCE!!! Chelsea break at speed after a long throw from Roerslev comes to nothing. Sterling canters over halfway and finds Palmer to his right, but the youngster's return ball into the box is just a fraction behind the England winger and Brentford survive!
