Antonio Conte can do no wrong. The Chelsea manager watched his team ease into the fifth round of the FA Cup at the expense of Brentford, who did not turn up until the second half, and the icing on the cake was provided by Branislav Ivanovic – a player he had dropped from the starting line-up.

It would appear that Brentford played in keeping with a lot of this season- inadequately. Surprising that it would take them to the second half to get into the game- one that was so anticipated. I suppose all will have continue to save their dreams for another year.
