Mads Roerslev praised Brentford’s fearlessness following the Bees’ goalless draw with Chelsea.

The 23-year-old impressed on the right of a back five, contributing to the defensive effort and setting up Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo for the game’s biggest chances.

“I think the team pulled out a really good performance,” said Roerslev.

“Of course, we are happy with a point, but we always aim for three. But one point is a massive against a big team like Chelsea.

“We know they have quality and you’ve got to respect it, but one of our biggest strengths is that we’re not afraid of attacking the big teams. We gave them a really hard time.

“The last five minutes were hard, but you’ve got to dig deep in every game.

“Everyone has been working hard and relying on our principles. There’s trust in each other, we rely on each other, and you can really see that on the pitch.”
