Brentford Football Club Trolls Chelsea, Asks if They’re the World Champions After Beating Blues 4:1

• Brentford Football Club are still on top of the world after beating Chelsea 4-1 in the English Premier League
• Brentford FC beat Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge to record their first victory over The Blues since 1939
• Brentford rubbed salt in the wounds of Chelsea fans by trolling them on social media, asking if The Bees were now World Champions

Brentford FC don’t need the title of World Champions to be feeling like World Champions.

The Bees produced a brilliant display of football to beat Chelsea, the first time they’ve done so since 1939.

Antonio Rudiger gave the hosts the lead but Brentford weren’t going to sit back and make up the numbers.

Two goals from Vitaly Janelt, and one apiece from Christian Eriksen and Yoane Wissa, saw The Bees record a famous victory at Stamford Bridge, SkySports reported. As if the defeat wasn’t enough, Brentford FC then took to Twitter to troll Chelsea fans.

The club posted a question on their Twitter account, asking if they were the new World Champions now. Chelsea are the defending UEFA Champions League winners and the reigning FIFA Club World Cup Champions.

While many found the funny side of the tongue-in-cheek question, Chelsea fans became very defensive.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the tweet and to Brentford's win:

@julianm40712713:

'The salary of any Chelsea player is higher than your club´s value"

@cfcHavertic:

"Last season WBA beat Chelsea by 5-2. Chelsea won CL, Super League and CWC later and guess where are WBA now? Stay in your lane you small club admin"

@ItsWeshy:

"You travelled to Stamford Bridge 4-1 reason man Congratulations!!"

@zola155:

"Well played Brentford but no sorry we are still champs. Your time will come in another dimension."

@Munro96Josh:

"I’m a Chelsea fan and fair play to you, a little banter never hurt. Certain Chelsea fans just can’t handle it"

Eriksen-inspired Brentford thrash Chelsea 4-1

Chelsea slumped to a first defeat to Brentford Football Club since 1939 as Christian Eriksen inspired the Bees to a 4-1 win that should seal their Premier League survival, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The European champions had gone in front early in the second half at Stamford Bridge through Antonio Rudiger's sensational long-range strike, but they collapsed to lose for the first time since owner Roman Abramovich was hit by UK government sanctions.

Vitaly Janelt levelled just a minute later to spark a three-goal spree in 10 minutes for the visitors. Eriksen has been in fine form since making his return to competitive football after suffering a cardiac arrest on the field during Euro 2020.
