EPL: Nketiah grabs first Arsenal hat trick in 5-0 whitewash of Sheffield, Chelsea lose 2-0 to Brentford

Brentford on Saturday defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to secure a third straight win at the ground and move into the top ten on the premier League table.

The Blues started the game well but couldn’t get a goal, and once Ethan Pinnock powered the Bees into the lead, they never looked back.

Bryan Mbeumo wrapped up in stoppage time as Thomas Frank’s men sealed a massive victory that ends Chelsea’s mini revival.

Brentford have won every Premier League game they have ever played at Stamford Bridge in three remarkable visits.

The results meant Brentford overtook Chelsea on the log as both teams occupy 10th and 11th on the log respectively.

Elsewhere, Arsenal humiliated Sheffield United 5-0 courtesy of Eddie Nketiah’s hatrick and each goal from Fabio Viera and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Nketiah, leading the line in place of the injured Gabriel Jesus, converted the opener coolly from Declan Rice’s cross in the first half then capitalised on a Wes Foderingham error to slam home an instinctive second soon after the break.

The 24-year-old saved his best until last, however, sealing his treble with a stunning long-range effort driven into the top corner after collecting Emile Smith Rowe’s pass 25 yards from goal.

Arsenal rammed home their advantage when Fabio Vieira won and converted a late penalty and fellow substitute Takehiro Tomiyasu poked home his first goal for the club following a corner in stoppage time, but the afternoon belonged to Nketiah.
