Late to update this but all the same.
Last Saturday the mighty Bees hammered the local rivals Chelsea. The same club that has had outstanding success in the last two decades and are currently Champions League holders and world club champions. Despite this pedigree Brentford won 4-1 away form home. Amazing result. The first win over Chelsea since 1939 it seems.
I had a late offer of a ticket but could not take it up as I had a conflicting appointment- pre-op assessment at Chelsea & Westminster. An opportunity missed.
This is the same Chelsea that are in difficulties due to sanctions imposed on Russian oligarchs close to the murderous, war mongering Putin regime.
So it seems the Danish superstar had a lot to do with the great performance and win. He scored in this match as well as scoring on his international return during the week. A marvellous story.

Christian Eriksen scored his first goal for Brentford as they closed in on Premier League safety by outclassing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Brentford produced a magnificent display to record their first win over Chelsea since 1939 as they came from behind to stun Thomas Tuchel’s side with three goals in 10 minutes in the second half before adding a fourth late on to humiliate the Champions League holders.
