Brentford remain set-piece specialists after Chelsea equaliser | OneFootball

Brentford might have undergone change this summer with Thomas Frank departing as head coach and a raft of key figures leaving West London.

But the Bees remain true to their principles and the appointment of former set-piece coach Keith Andrews as the club’s new manager paid dividends this weekend.

Brentford rescued a draw with Chelsea after a 93rd-minute goal from Fabio Carvalho, which arrived from a familiar route. Michael Kayode’s giant throw-in found its way to the back post, where Carvalho was on hand to steer home.

According to Opta, it was Brentford’s seventh Premier League goal scored from a throw-in since the start of last season, five more than any other side. Though there’s been a trend of teams utilising long throws more regularly this season, Brentford remain the benchmark.
