The Debrief: Ruthless opponents; Rudiger's strike ranked for distance

03 Apr 2022


We look at the statistics and diagrams from our derby defeat against
Brentford, with the chances taken or not taken assessed, and a focus on
our German defender's shooting…

There are plenty of reasons to draw parallels between yesterday's defeat
against Brentford and our loss at home to West Bromwich Albion last
season.


That 5-2 reverse was on 3 April 2021, just one day off being exactly a
year earlier, and it also came off the back of the final international
break of the season, and to too ended a long unbeaten run (it was the
first loss under Thomas Tuchel).


West Brom, like the Bees, were one of the sides promoted to the Premier
League that season and on the day also proved ruthlessly efficient in
taking any opportunity in front of the Chelsea goal.


That was highlighted by the Baggies scoring five times from a performance
with an expected goals (xG) rating of 1.63 goals. Brentford yesterday
netted four times with their xG at 2.2. Chelsea's one goal came from an xG
of 1.78.

As everyone in the stadium yesterday saw, we went close from some good
attacks – a top save denying Hakim Ziyech in the first half and Kai
Havertz rolling the ball just wide when the score was 3-1, having almost
blocking a clearance from goalkeeper David Raya into the Brentford net.


In what are rated as having been 'big chances', Brentford generated a
tally of four, two of those missed. Chelsea failed to convert either of
our two big chances.


== Toni goes third ==


Antonio Rudiger's special strike of course did not fall into that
category, he instead scoring a goal all of his own making.

His 38-yarder which opened the scoring early in the second half is the
third-longest distance goal scored by Chelsea in the Premier League since
OPTA started keeping records of that measurement in the 2006/07 season. It
is bettered only by Frank Lampard and David Luiz.


Top five longest-range goals scored by Chelsea from 2006/07 onwards

Date of goal Scorer Opposition Distance (yards)
================================================================
13/01/2007 Frank Lampard Wigan Athletic 45.07
17/04/2013 David Luiz Fulham 38.74
02/04/2022 Antonio Rudiger Brentford 38.4
28/10/2006 Frank Lampard Sheffield United 36.18
03/10/2015 Willian Southampton 35.9


Against Brentford, Rudiger had the most Chelsea shots in the game – his
six the same figure as the Bees' striker Ivan Toney, and our Toni's two on
target was matched by their Vitaly Janelt, although both of the German's
were goals scored.


Kai Havertz was the second most threatening Chelsea player with four
shots, one of which was on target.


== Counting crosses ==


Thomas Tuchel lined Chelsea up in a 4-3-3 against Brentford's 5-3-2,
continuing with the shape that had won at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.
Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech ahead of him making moves inside and outside
of each other was again a feature.


Ziyech played three key passes, a total only matched for Chelsea by N'Golo
Kante, who was playing his 250th Chelsea game, the 13th overseas player to
reach that landmark for the club.

Ziyech also sent in a massive number of crosses – 18 in all – of which
five were accurate. That was from a team total of six accurate crosses.


On the ball, in most categories, the Blues registered higher totals than
our visitors, but accuracy of crossing (in addition to goals scored of
course) is one significant area in which they did outdo us. Thirty-five
per cent of Brentford's crosses reached a team-mate compared with 18 per
cent of ours.


Ruben Loftus-Cheek, continuing in the same position at the base of the
midfield three that he had played at Middlesbrough, was our most accurate
passer and completed the most dribbles.

94


== Team totals ==


Brentford achieved their win with under 30 per cent of possession. That
share of the ball remained similar in the goal-laded second half as it had
been in the scoreless first.


Chelsea had seven shots in that first period, five on target, and twice as
many efforts, 14, after the break but only three of those worked the
goalie. The Bees had 17 shots overall to our 21, and six on target to our
eight – the bulk of those in the second half.


Tuchel changed the formation to three at the back for the final 25 minutes
with the introduction of Mateo Kovacic and Romelu Lukaku, moving Reece
James, who had originally been a straight swap for Marcos Alonso nine
minutes earlier, to right wing-back. Brentford scored one further goal
after that switch.


Chelsea lost the ball more often than our west London neighbours – 126
times to 108. We did have more of the possession to lose, but also
indicative of an afternoon when it did not go right, Brentford won 12 more
duels than us, six more aerial challenges and 10 more tackles.

3 - Chelsea have lost by three or more goals in a Premier League London
derby at Stamford Bridge for just the second time, after a 0-3 defeat to
Arsenal in April 1997. Stunned.


It is Brentford's first win in the nine games they have played against
Chelsea since they won at Stamford Bridge in February 1939.


Overall for Chelsea, the defeat brought to an end a 17-game unbeaten run
at the Bridge in all competitions, dating back to when Manchester City won
1-0 in September.


For good omens ahead of our hosting of Real Madrid on Wednesday, after
that surprise heavy defeat against West Brom a year ago, we recovered to
record a good Champions League win against Porto in the next match and
followed that up with a 4-1 Premier League victory at Crystal Palace the
next weekend.
