October 20, (THEWILL) – Chelsea had a lacklustre performance in a 0-0 draw at Brentford on Wednesday, dropping points in the English Premier League for the first time under Graham Potter.
Kepa Arrizabalaga kept the visitors at bay in West London as he continued his stellar rejuvenation, but a significantly changed Chelsea team struggled to create clear-cut chances during the frustrating draw away from home.
Potter lost his perfect EPL record with Chelsea as a consequence, and the Blues wasted the opportunity to move closer to the top three even though he has not lost in seven games in all competitions since joining the Blues.
After failing to defeat Thomas Frank’s Bees, whose defensive organisation shone in an outstanding performance, Chelsea now trail League leaders Arsenal by seven points.
On Saturday, Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways when they host Manchester United and the next day, at Villa Park, Brentford will be against Aston Villa.
