Chelsea secured a gritty 2-1 victory over Brentford in their Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge on December 15, 2024. Marc Cucurella opened the scoring for Chelsea just before halftime with a well-placed header.
Nicolas Jackson missed a golden opportunity earlier in the second half but redeemed himself by netting Chelsea's decisive second goal late in the game.
Brentford responded in the dying moments, with Bryan Mbeumo pulling one back, but it was not enough to alter the result.
Post-match tensions saw Cucurella receive a red card for his involvement in a heated exchange. This victory marked Chelsea’s fifth consecutive league win, moving them within two points of Liverpool at the top of the table.
