Brentford striker Neal Maupay took a brutal swipe at Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez minutes after helping his side record a historic 2-0 win on October 28.

The Bees became the first side to win their first-ever three consecutive Premier League meetings at Stamford Bridge to halt Mauricio Pochettino's recent steady run of form.

Ethan Pinnock opened the scoring in the 58th minute before Bryan Mbeumo added a second one in stoppage time to condemn the Blues to a fourth defeat of the season in just 10 games.

It is the second goal that possibly provided fodder for Maupay, who was a second-half introduction for Thomas Frank's charges.

Chelsea had sent everyone upfront, including Sanchez, in search of an equaliser when the ball fell to Maupay. The former Everton man led the counter-attack, held off Sanchez, who was sprinting back, before squaring the ball to Mbeumo, who rolled it in in an empty net.

Maupay's diss on Sanchez

Maupay and Sanchez played together at Brighton, with the two exchanging jerseys after the game. Maupay then shared a photo of himself wearing the jersey and uploaded it to his Instagram story, captioning it;

"Mood!"

It was another tough outing for Sanchez, whose mistake last week offered Arsenal a route back into the game.

The loss saw Brentford supplant Chelsea from 10th in the Premier League standings.

Jackson involved in confrontation with fan

Elsewhere, the Chelsea vs Brentford Premier League clash was marked by an ugly off-the-pitch incident involving Nicolas Jackson and a fan.

Jackson, who has endured a frustrating start to life in the Premier League, was caught in an ugly spat with a Chelsea fan, who made their feelings known for the striker's poor performance.

Cole Palmer apologises to Pochettino

At the same time, Sports Brief reported that Chelsea summer signing, Cole Palmer has apologised for throwing a bottle at Mauricio Pochettino during the London derby against rivals Arsenal.

Palmer was among the goalscorers as the two Premier League giants played out a 2-2 draw over the weekend at Stamford Bridge.
