Fabio Carvalho was Brentford’s derby hero as he came off the bench to score a stoppage-time equaliser in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

The Blues looked set to take the points and move top of the Premier League standings for Saturday night after Moises Caicedo thundered in from the edge of the box in the 85th minute.

Cole Palmer – making his return from injury – had dragged his side level just after the hour, cancelling out Kevin Schade’s 35th-minute opener. It was the Chelsea talisman's first goal since a penalty against Liverpool in May, and his first from open play since January.

Yet just as it seemed as if Caicedo had broken Brentford's hearts, Keith Andrews’ team came up with a leveller when substitute Carvalho bundled in from a long throw-in, in the third minute of stoppage time.

Carvalho’s late show means Chelsea now sit in fifth instead of first, while Brentford are 12th with four points from their four games.
