It was a clear foul.

why he didnt get a yellow card for that tackle is beyond me

13.3

If, when a free kick is taken, an attacking team player is less than 1 m (1 yd) from a ‘wall’ formed by three or more defending team players, an indirect free kick is awarded.

Ah, the one metre rule, of course!

Is the ball not in play until it's struck or is it when ref blows the whistle?  In other words a retake should be the call.

Not sure Chelsea player was in the wall, so could be a foul.

Didn't see if direct or indirect free kick awarded?

Who reckons that the people who backed Chelsea from 20/1 into 10/1 for the league on the strength of one game over-reacted somewhat!!, regardless of how this game ends up that was crazy

Brentford are doomed

Chelsea are going to bet a right bollocking at HT

get rid of best players and appoint a "set-piece coach" as manager. geat plan Brentford.

"not an easy one for the ref, but an easy decision" what?

Reds kill games

Chelsea seem scared to put the ball in the box

Two reds then, the offender + the captain

Opportunity for Leeds or Sunderland to stay up, maybe.

Brentford have reached an agreement with Keith Andrews to become the club’s manager following Thomas Frank’s departure to Tottenham Hotspur.

Andrews, who has served as Brentford’s set-piece coach since July 2024, is now poised to take his first managerial role in senior football.

The 44-year-old has impressed within the club over the past year, earning trust through his tactical input and behind-the-scenes leadership.

His promotion follows Brentford’s preference for continuity, similar to their decision in 2018 when Thomas Frank was elevated from assistant after Dean Smith left for Aston Villa.

Brentford held talks with several external candidates, including Kieran McKenna and Francesco Farioli, but ultimately decided that Andrews’ familiarity with the club made him the ideal successor.

Andrews is widely credited as the architect behind Brentford’s set-piece success last season, with the team scoring 13 goals from dead-ball situations.

Only two Premier League sides outperformed Brentford in expected goals from set pieces, with Andrews’ schemes consistently giving them an edge.

He also played a key role in the club’s explosive starts to matches, helping Brentford score inside the opening minute of three consecutive Premier League games last October.

Those routines showcased not only Andrews’ attention to detail but also his ability to align tactical preparation with Brentford’s broader sporting model.

The club are currently finalising a new coaching structure around Andrews, with experienced staff expected to support the former Ireland international in his first full-time managerial post.

Before joining Brentford, Andrews held assistant roles at Sheffield United and with the Republic of Ireland national teams at Under-21 and senior levels.

some one can't spell tyre properly.
