Liam Rosenior pleased with Chelsea ‘attitude’ in battling win against Brentford

Story byDavid PasztorSun, January 18, 2026 at 8:50 AM UTC·2 min readIt was far from the prettiest and most definitely far from our best, but Chelsea got the job done against Brentford on Saturday, picking up the full three points for just the second time in our last ten Premier League matches. Taking advantage of a couple mistakes from the visitors, we rode our luck at both ends of the pitch, scoring twice (once from the penalty spot) and keeping a rare clean sheet as well. João Pedro’s excellent finish after a fortuitous bounce put us ahead in the first half and Cole Palmer made sure of the outcome from the spot after Liam Delap pounced on a miscontrol from the Brentford goalkeeper in the second. Brentford had twice as many shots and three times as many touches in the opposition box as Chelsea, but they could not find a goal.
