Chelsea's season in doubt on and off the field as Brentford find historic win, Christian Eriksen goal

LONDON, England -- In the space of 10 minutes, Chelsea went from being in the familiar position of a goal to the good at home, to wondering if their season is going to unravel.

Antonio Rudiger's wondergoal at the start of the second half brought relief at Stamford Bridge, but it was only a momentary respite from the off-field ownership battle and now on-field uncertainty engulfing the club. What followed was a brutal exposure of the hosts' fragile state as Christian Eriksen, Mads Roerslev and Bryan Mbuemo orchestrated a historic 4-1 win for Brentford.
