What happened. Chelsea lost 3-0 at Brentford on Friday night, with second-half goals from Jaidon Anthony, Igor Thiago and Fabio Carvalho. Jordan Henderson and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez exchanged words after Anthony's opener from a corner.

• Henderson appeared annoyed Martinez did not come for the cross
• Henderson also remonstrated with defender Maxence Lacroix
• Chelsea have conceded 12 goals in five Premier League games

“There is a certain element of fragility.”

— Gary Cahill

Brentford sit third and unbeaten, while Chelsea are seventh ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures.
