Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell shared his perspective on the Blues’ 2-2 draw with Brentford, expressing that his team played “really well” despite the challenges faced during the match. Axel Disasi’s late goal salvaged a point for Chelsea after Brentford’s Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa had overturned Nicolas Jackson’s opener.

Chilwell acknowledged the topsy-turvy nature of the game, emphasizing the team’s strong first-half performance. He praised Chelsea’s ability to neutralize threats and cope with physical challenges. While Chilwell believed a victory was within reach, he considered the eventual draw a fair result, highlighting missed opportunities and the need for better containment in the second half.

In a broader context, Chelsea’s expensively assembled squad, under manager Mauricio Pochettino, is still finding its cohesion, lacking a distinct identity. Despite significant investments, the team currently sits in 11th place in the Premier League.

Looking ahead, Chelsea will face Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge on March 11, followed by a home quarter-final FA Cup clash against Championship side Leicester City six days later.
