Speaking to Sky Sports, Colwill said: “Not good enough. At times we have been bullied in the box and we definitely need to improve.

While Emi Martinez got a strong hand to Schade’s shot, it only guided it towards Thiago for first goal of the season. Then in the dying moments of the game, Schade – with miles of room along the left flank – sent the ball across to sub Fabio Carvalho, who tapped it in at the far post. Colwill got a nick, but his deflection only sealed the fate of seventh-place Chelsea, who watched Brentford jump to third after five games. Martinez has now conceded TEN goals in his first four games in a Chelsea shirt.

Boss Alonso is only the sixth manager to see his side concede two or more goals in each of his first five games as a Premier League manager. The 44-year-old follows the likes of Mick McCarthy, Sammy Lee, Terry Connor, Slavisa Jokanovic, and Scott Parker. To add to the worries, Chelsea have conceded the most goals in the league (12), with their expected goals against coming in at a shocking league-worst of 9.88. They can only boast a goal difference of minus two and have been without a clean sheet in 21 league games. The three-week international break may provide some respite for the side despite Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers’ England call-ups. Chelsea will meet Bournemouth on their return at Stamford Bridge.
