"Caicedo's brilliant strike saw Chelsea, who were well below par in the first half, complete the turnaround after Cole Palmer - making his return from injury as a substitute - had dragged the Blues level just after the hour, cancelling out Kevin Schade's 35th-minute opener. Palmer saw a golden chance for a second pass him by, while Pedro Neto was thwarted by Ethan Pinnock before Caicedo clattered in."
"Yet just as Brentford appeared to be heading for a third defeat from their opening four Premier League matches, Keith Andrews' team came up with a leveller when substitute Carvalho bundled in from a long throw in the third minute of second-half stoppage time. Chelsea, who face Bayern Munich in the Champions League next week, would have moved top of the early standings with a win, but instead sit in fifth with eight points from their opening four league games."
Brentford and Chelsea played to a 2-2 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium. Kevin Schade opened the scoring in the 35th minute. Cole Palmer, returning from injury as a substitute, levelled just after the hour. Moises Caicedo put Chelsea ahead with an 85th-minute strike. Fabio Carvalho bundled in a stoppage-time equaliser from a long throw in the third minute of second-half stoppage time. The goal was Brentford's seventh Premier League goal directly from a throw-in since last season. All six of Carvalho's Premier League goals have come in the 75th minute or later. Chelsea sit fifth with eight points.
