Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory over Brentford at Stamford Bridge, moving within two points of Premier League leaders Liverpool. 
Marc Cucurella opened the scoring just before halftime with a header from Noni Madueke's cross, marking his first league goal for the club.
In the second half, Nicolas Jackson doubled Chelsea's lead in the 80th minute, capitalizing on a precise through ball from Enzo Fernández.
Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo scored a late goal in stoppage time, but Chelsea maintained their lead to secure the win.
The match concluded with controversy as Cucurella received a second yellow card after the final whistle for an altercation with Brentford's Kevin Schade, resulting in his suspension for the upcoming match against Everton.
This victory marks Chelsea's seventh consecutive win across all competitions under manager Enzo Maresca
