In an electrifying finish at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford salvaged a dramatic 2-2 draw against Chelsea thanks to Fábio Carvalho’s last-gasp goal in the third minute of added time.
Chelsea seemed poised for victory after Moisés Caicedo unleashed a stunning strike from the edge of the box in the 85th minute, following an inspiring performance by substitute Cole Palmer.
The match kicked off with Brentford taking the lead when Kevin Schade scored a well-executed goal just before halftime. Chelsea, however, bounced back after the entrance of Palmer, who was crucial in shifting the game’s momentum.
Palmer’s impact was immediate as he leveled the score early in the second half after a brilliant setup from Enzo Fernández. Chelsea appeared more aggressive and confident, pushing Brentford back as they sought a win.
Despite dominating possession, Chelsea struggled to finish, allowing Brentford to remain in the game. Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, acknowledged the need for better game management after taking the lead.
As the match intensified, Chelsea's pressure finally led to Caicedo’s goal, but just when it seemed the Blues had secured all three points, Carvalho’s late strike thwarted their plans, leaving the visitors in disbelief.
Maresca remarked on Palmer's importance, revealing he initially wasn’t fit to start, but his presence rejuvenated the team. "When he is fit, we are very happy," said the manager.
Despite his limited playtime this season, Carvalho’s dramatic late goal underscores his potential, with Brentford’s coach praising his talents and confidence in a bright future.
