Brentford 3-0 Chelsea: What Andrews and Schuster said
Brentford manager Keith Andrews speaking to MOTD after his side's 3-0 win: "I feel like I have played. It was a really good evening, it's important that you enjoy evenings like this because you work so hard and there are so many tough days in this game and when you play against a west London rival, and you build up to a game and you go on a bit of a journey with the team, there are always bumps along the way, but we were in a really good place and it's nice to see it come into fruition tonight." On Brentford's versatility: "The second goal was crucial obviously. The first goal was from a set piece. I think with the way we play that we are unpredictable, and we can score and play in different ways. When we are in control of games, in possession we can look to create and cause chaos for the opposition, but even from defending deep from certain situations we have serious counter attacking threat so I like a lot of what we do." On Chelsea: "I thought Chelsea set up in a really respectful way. They paid a lot of attention to our strengths. Igor Thiago being one of them. He found it difficult to get space at times in the first half. You have to be patience and do the right thing. With the boys habits and the values we have as a club and a team, I think it all comes out consistently, and you can start to see that now where we are as a team." On a good start to the season: "It's amazing the way one game dictates if it's an okay start or a really good start, but yeah, it's been a good start. We have been competitive, we have had to dig deep, we have had to show loads of different traits in the opening weeks of the season which is what you always have to do in this league. We can have a little reflection now of the opening few weeks as the boys go off in their different directions." Fabio Carvalho scoring in consecutive games after injury: "The worst part of being a footballer is when you're injured and he's been unbelievable in his approach to it, in his professionalism, and he's comeback really seamlessly into the fold. He looks really sharp, really strong. To get that important goal tonight was nice for him and really special." Brentford defender Jannik Schuster speaking to Sky Sports: "I think when the second half began we played it more directly forward and we scored after that so I'm just happy. On being player of the match: "I don't care about my performance. I just want to help the team, get the clean sheet and the three points. Hopefully I get many more minutes." On the assist for the first goal: "They always tell me I have a potential on set pieces but there wasn't a lot of outcome on this until now. Hopefully I can score next time." Did you know? Brentford have played seven Premier League games on a Friday and won six of them, conceding just one goal in the process. Their points-per-game average of 2.71 on Fridays is the best of any side to play 3+ games on a specific day of the week in the competition's history. Brentford have won three of their last four London derbies in the Premier League, as many as their previous 21 beforehand.
