Today at 09:30 AM
Tosin Adarabioyo has shared what Chelsea were working on in the build-up to their victory over Brentford on Sunday.
The Blues made it five Premier League wins in a row as they beat Brentford 2-1 to record their first Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge against the Bees.
Goals from Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson secured the points, but a late goal from Bryan Mbeumo set up a nervy finish, with Chelsea able to hold on and close the gap on leaders Liverpool to just two points.
Tosin shares what Chelsea were working on before Brentford game
The win was just Chelsea's second against Brentford since their promotion to the Premier League and Enzo Maresca shared why he was so happy at full time.
Brentford made it difficult but the Blues were able to ground out an important result and keep their positive momentum going.
Chelsea controlled the first half but couldn't find a breakthrough until two minutes before half time as Noni Madueke put in a brilliant cross which was headed home by Cucurella.
Speaking after the game Tosin revealed it was in fact something Chelsea had been working on in the build-up to the match.
"It's something we have been working on," he told Chelsea's website.
"It was a great cross from Noni Madueke and great to see Marc Cucurella on the end of it. He was in a more advanced position and did a great job."
This is yet more evidence that Chelsea are making progress as a side and it's clear Maresca is pushing the squad hard in training every day and it seems to be paying off.
The Blues face Shamrock Rovers in the Conference League on Thursday night before facing a tough trip to Goodison Park to take on Everton on Sunday, where victory would momentarily send them top of the league.
