Carvalho Rescues Brentford in Injury Time Thriller Against Chelsea

Fabio Carvalho was the last-minute hero for Brentford as the Bees snatched a dramatic 2–2 draw against Chelsea in a thrilling Premier League clash in West London.

Brentford took the lead in the 35th minute through Kevin Schade, who calmly slotted home after a well-worked move. Cole Palmer, making his return from injury, brought Chelsea level shortly after the break with a composed finish inside the box.

The match looked destined for a Chelsea win when Moisés Caicedo fired in a powerful strike in the 85th minute to give the visitors a late lead. But in stoppage time, Carvalho found space in the box and converted a long throw-in to snatch a vital point for Brentford.
