Chelsea failed to climb to the top of the Premier League table after drawing 2-2 with west London rivals Brentford.<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo both scored, but it was not enough for Chelsea<\/a> to win and return to Stamford Bridge<\/a> with all three points.<\/p>\n

Palmer had to come to the rescue after a poor first half from Jorrel Hato<\/a> and the rest of Enzo Maresca<\/a>\u2018s team<\/p>\n

Many Chelsea fans wanted to see Hato start<\/a> at the Gtech Community Stadium and got their wish, but the left-back disappointed.<\/p>\n

As you would expect, Maresca is not going to write off his new signing after one bad game.<\/p>\n

Hato is still only 19 and has just arrived in the Premier League<\/a>. As a result, the Dutchman needs time to adapt, according to his manager.<\/p>\n

Explaining his decision to withdraw Hato at half time, Maresca told football.london<\/a> and other outlets: \u201cWe planned not all of the game for Jorrel because he needs time to adapt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marc Cucurella is Chelsea\u2019s first-choice left-back, but Maresca evidently wanted to give the 27-year-old a rest.<\/p>\n

Cucurella impressed for Spain<\/a> during the international break, with the former Brighton & Hove Albion man now a key player for both club and country.<\/p>\n

Whether Cucurella needed a rest or not, leaving him and Malo Gusto out for Hato and Wesley Fofana did not work.<\/p>\n

All in all, Maresca made too many changes for a fixture that has not been too kind to Chelsea in recent years.<\/p>\n

The Blues drew 0-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium last season and 2-2 the campaign before. Chelsea fans would have also preferred if Palmer had started the game; however, the attacking midfielder has just returned from a groin injury.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s next game is against Bayern Munich in the Champions League<\/a>, where they will face Nicolas Jackson, who is currently at the German club on loan.<\/p>\n

Jackson had a permanent offer<\/a> from another club, but the 24-year-old decided to join Vincent Kompany\u2019s side in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea failed to climb to the top of the Premier League table after drawing 2-2 with west London…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136421,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[294,218,21519,221,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-136420","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-enzo-maresca","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jorrel-hato","11":"tag-premier-league","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
