(Reuters) - Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy played a "decisive" role in Saturday's 1-0 West London derby win over newcomers Brentford, manager Thomas Tuchel said.

Chelsea kept their grip on the league's top spot https://www.reuters.com/article/soccer-england-bre-che-report-idINL1N2RC0CO thanks to a Ben Chilwell strike, but they owed their three points as much to goalkeeper Mendy, who pulled off a string of saves to deny Brentford an equaliser.
