Tosin Adarabioyo has shared what Chelsea were working on in the build-up to their victory over Brentford on Sunday.
The Blues made it five Premier League wins in a row as they beat Brentford 2-1 to record their first Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge against the Bees.
Goals from Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson secured the points, but a late goal from Bryan Mbeumo set up a nervy finish, with Chelsea able to hold on and close the gap on leaders Liverpool to just two points.

Chelsea controlled the first half but couldn’t find a breakthrough until two minutes before half time as Noni Madueke put in a brilliant cross which was headed home by Cucurella.
Speaking after the game Tosin revealed it was in fact something Chelsea had been working on in the build-up to the match.
“It’s something we have been working on,” he told Chelsea’s website.
“It was a great cross from Noni Madueke and great to see Marc Cucurella on the end of it. He was in a more advanced position and did a great job.”
