Chelsea secured a fifth consecutive Premier League win with a 2-1 victory over Brentford at Stamford Bridge. Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson scored, but the match ended dramatically after Bryan Mbeumo’s late goal, with Cucurella being sent off. Despite the win, manager Enzo Maresca stresses that Chelsea is "not ready to compete for the title," citing defensive lapses as a concern. Maresca cautioned against overconfidence, saying the team needs further improvement.
