Match Report: Chelsea 4 - Brentford 0


Smooth passage to the fifth round of the FA Cup was achieved at Stamford Bridge with goals from Willian, Pedro, Branislav Ivanovic and Michy Batshuayi putting pay to local rivals.

The Blues were 2-0 up at the break, reward for a first-half of near total domination, and although Brentford rallied in the second period, and forced a save from Asmir Begovic, they were powerless to stop Antonio Conte’s men from taking control again and doubling our tally through substitute Ivanovic and, from the penalty spot, Batshuayi who was given the centre-forward role today.
