Adarabioyo praised Chelsea's defensive resilience in Brentford draw

Chelsea earned a hard-earned point in their 0-0 draw against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday, with Tosin Adarabioyo praising the team's defensive resilience. The result was the Blues' second consecutive draw in the Premier League this season, a positive sign of their growing defensive solidity.

"It’s a tough place to come to, so to come away with a clean sheet and a point is a positive that we can take," Adarabioyo said. "They attack you hard and fast, but I felt we dealt with those combinations well," he added.

Chelsea were under pressure in the first half, with Brentford creating several threatening chances. Robert Sanchez made crucial saves from Mbeumo and Wissa, while Adarabioyo himself almost scored from a Reece James free-kick, but his header went wide.

Adarabioyo stressed the importance of Chelsea's defensive improvements as they approach the final stretch of the season. "Back-to-back clean sheets are always important, and we’ll be hoping to take that into the final few games," he claimed.
