FA Cup Report: Chelsea v Brentford 28 January 2017

FA Cup

Result: Chelsea 4-0 Brentford  

Date: 28 January 2017

Venue: Stamford Bridge

Chelsea advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup, after cruising to a 4-0 win over Brentford at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.

The home side found an early lead through Willian in the 14th minute. The Brazilian scored with a fine free-kick, curling the ball around the wall.   In the 21st minute Pedro doubled the lead for Chelsea with a neat finish at the neat post. Batshuayi picked out Pedro with a stunning through ball on the right and the Spaniard did well to control and slot into the far corner, 2-0.   The match went into the half-time break with Chelsea completely dominating and they could have scored more than the 2-0 they were leading with.   Brenford tightened up in the second-half and Chelsea's chances were limited.   However in the 68th minute, substitute Branislav Ivanovic put the game beyond Brenford making it 3-0 to Chelsea with a low finish from close range.   Antonio Conte's charges continued to dominate with Brentford chasing shadows, before they eventually got a fourth goal.   Ivanovic was fouled inside the box and the Blues were awarded a penalty, which Michy Batshuayi calmly converted, 4-0.
