Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was delighted with their 1-0 win at Brentford.
Ben Chilwell struck the only goal of the game.
"In the end, the last 20 minutes were suddenly a cup game and they had nothing to lose," said Tuchel.
"They found momentum and it felt like we had one player less. They played with more belief and we focused too much on defending.
"I was happy with the first 65-70 minutes and we should have scored more. But respect to Brentford."
