Chelsea player ratings vs Brentford: Axel Disasi from zero to hero! Defender scores late equaliser after dire display as Moises Caicedo drops another stinker in battling Bees draw

Disasi made amends after a dismal first-half while Caicedo turned in another disastrous display as the Blues dropped more points in the league

Chelsea were under-par for the majority of their clash with Brentford but they somehow dug deep enough to rescue a late point, potentially alleviating some of the pressure on manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Nicolas Jackson scored the opening goal of the game, powering a header into the bottom corner from Malo Gusto's cross, having previously struggled to hit the back of the net.

In the second half, Mads Roerslev equalised just five minutes after the restart, pouncing on defensive confusion to bring the Bees level.

Yoanne Wissa somehow then gave Brentford the lead through a brilliant bicycle kick that left Petrovic rooted to the spot.

Axel Disasi, though, made up for his mistake for the opening goal by scoring a late header to bring Chelsea level.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Djordje Petrovic (6/10):
Almost caught out when he claimed a loose ball on the edge of his penalty area, leading to howls of proteest from Brentford. Well-beaten by both strikes, particularly Wissa's.
Malo Gusto (7/10):
Superb cross for Jackson to score. Continually found his team-mates with superb deliveries. Comfortably Chelsea's best player.
Trevoh Chalobah (5/10):
Caught under the ball before Wissa's brilliant goal and appeared overawed by the Brentford press at times.
Axel Disasi (6/10):
Slid to try to block Roerslev's strike but got nowhere near him in some truly bizarre defending - but he more than made up for it with a late headed equaliser.
Levi Colwill (6/10):
Put his body on the line when he could. Subbed for Sterling late on.
Ben Chilwell (5/10):
Energetic as ever but couldn't have the same impact as the excellent Gusto.

Midfield
Enzo Fernandez (5/10):
Struggled in midfield, particularly in the second half, when he just couldn't get up and running. Clearly fatigued. Subbed for Mudryk on 70 minutes.
Moises Caicedo (4/10):
Seemed to divert Toney's shot into Roerslev's path for him to equalise. Consistently slides in, and seems a second behind the play at times. Chelsea desperately need him to improve; right now, he's not good enough.
Conor Gallagher (5/10):
Booked for a dismal dive in the first half. His main contribution in a game that passed him by.

Attack
Cole Palmer (6/10):
Some very clever movement but twice sent the ball wide in promising positions. Crossed for Disasi's header, a superb assist.
Nicolas Jackson (6/10):
Went round the goalkeeper but still managed to miss, as he scuffed his finish and saw it cleared. Recovered to score, powering a header into the bottom corner.

Subs & Manager
Mykhailo Mudryk (5/10):
On for Fernandez. Barely saw the ball.
Raheem Sterling (6/10):
Replaced Colwill as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser and the systemic change did lead to a goal, even if Sterling wasn't involved.
Mauricio Pochettino (5/10):
Got away with it. Chelsea were utterly dreadful for most of the second half as a switch to a three at the back didn't seem to suit them - but they just about managed to rescue a point. It may prove to be a big result, but Chelsea must learn to control games.
