Brentford climb to third in EPL after blanking Chelsea 3-0

LONDON (AP): Brentford climbed to third in the English Premier League (EPL) after a crushing 3-0 win over London rivals Chelsea yesterday. It was a puzzling display by Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea side who have now gone three league games without a win.
