Chelsea reach into Semi Final
Chelsea reach into Semi Final
Chelsea reached their third major semi-final in 11 months under Thomas Tuchel after scoring two late goals
to overcome west London neighbours Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
The Blues ended up with Jorginho, James, Pulisic, Mason Mount and N’Golo Kante coming off the bench, though,
to make an impact as the tie was locked at 0-0 before Jansson’s own goal.
The move started with a James throw-in deep inside his own half and ended with the England defender supplying the cross
which led to the Bees centre-back’s misfortune.
Jorginho’s penalty sealed victory but Brentford, who reached the semi-finals last season, gave a good account of themselves
and will now look to consolidate their position in the Premier League following a solid start to the season.
Tuchel went onto the pitch at the final whistle to congratulate his players and acknowledge the travelling support after
a hard-earned success.
