JAKARTA - Brentford humiliated Chelsea with a landslide score of 4-1 at Stamford Bridge Stadium, London in the 31st week of the Premier League, Saturday local time.

In that match, Chelsea had taken the lead through Antonio Rudiger, before finally Brentford replied thanks to goals from Vitaly Janelt (2), Christian Eriksen and Yoane Wissa.

The victory made Brentford move up to 14th place in the standings with 33 points from 31 matches, while Chelsea are still stuck in third place with 59 points from 29 matches.

In the first half, Brentford had threatened first when Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy failed to clear a counter-attack from the Bees but Ivan Toney's shot just bounced over the bar.

Brentford made another threat, again through Toney's effort but Mendy's shot was parried by Mendy just wide of the Chelsea goal.

Chelsea, who had been pressured by several chances, Brentford finally managed to come out, turned threatening 15 minutes before the end of the first half through Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Hakim Ziyech, but had yet to score a goal so the score remained 0-0 until halftime.

In the second half, Chelsea took the initiative to attack and were able to break the deadlock through a goal scored by Antonio Rudiger using a pass from N'Golo Kante in the 48th minute.

Down by a goal, Brentford reacted quickly and equalized in the 50th minute when Vitaly Janelt scored after receiving a pass from Bryan Mbeumo.

Brentford became more comfortable running the game and was able to take the lead in the 54th minute after Christian Eriksen scored after receiving a pass from Mbuemo and made it 2-1.

Six minutes later, Vitaly Janelt scored his second goal of the game after he picked up a through ball from Ivan Toney and the German midfielder had no trouble beating Mendy to make it 3-1.

Stunned by three quick goals scored by Brentford in the space of 10 minutes, Chelsea continued to try to reduce the gap and attack the Bees defence, but efforts from Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic and Romelu Lukaku were to no avail.

Brentford managed to score their fourth goal in the 87th minute after substitute Yoane Wissa found a loose ball in the Chelsea penalty area before finally finding the net from Mendy and making it 4-1 which lasted until the game was over.
