Watch Chelsea Vs Brentford highlights as the hosts held on for a narrow win at Stamford Bridge to close maintain their title challenge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca’s<\/a> side survived a late scare to win 2-1 against their London neighbours and keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> remain second in the table, just two points below the Reds – who have a game in hand.<\/p>\n

The result marks Chelsea’s seventh straight win in all competitions as they stamped their credentials as serious title contenders.<\/p>\n

Marc Cucurella<\/a> opened the scoring with a header on the stroke of halftime. The Spanish fullback directed Noni Madueke’s sumptuous cross goal-wards to put Chelsea in front at the break.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Jackson then doubled the lead with ten minutes to go. Racing onto Enzo Fernandez’s pass, he drove a low finish past Mark Flekken in the Brentford<\/a> goal to put the hosts firmly in control.<\/p>\n

But Chelsea nerves were left jangling in the final moments. Bryan Mbuemo pulled one back on 90 minutes to give the visitors hope of an unlikely comeback.<\/p>\n

As the final seconds ticked down, Cucurella saw a second yellow card, reducing Chelsea to ten men.<\/p>\n

But they held on for maximum points and kept their superb recent winning record alive.<\/p>\n
