Ruben Loftus-Cheek started and did well for Chelsea once again as a deep lying playmaker against Brentford.
But despite his efforts, the Bees put on huge pressure late on, and should really have got an equaliser from the considerable pressure they put on.
RLC spoke to Chelsea TV after the game and tried to explain why it had been such a struggle. He pointed to Brentford’s style of play, and the voracious crowd as major factors.
We escaped with 3 points though, and that’s all that matters.
