Trevoh Chalobah was once again showcased why he is so highly rated by manager Thomas Tuchel after showed superb positional awareness to pull off a crucial goal-line clearance against Brentford.
The Blues defender performed the vital clearance during the 84th minute when shot-stopper Edouard Mendy initially made a good stop to deny Bee’s winger Saman from short-range, only for the ball to fall to midfielder Christian Norgaard who then managed to dink the ball towards the empty net.
Thankfully for Blues fans, 22-year-old Chalobah was on hand to smash the ball away due to making a clever movement in the box after seeing his keeper move off his line, denying the hosts any chance of a late goal.
The moment would prove to be vital as Chelsea would go on to cling on to their 1-0 lead and take all three points with them back to Stamford Bridge – a result which sends the club back to the top of the Premier League table.
