WHAT HAPPENED?
Chelsea fans, per journalist Jack Rosser, took aim at both Pochettino and owner Todd Boehly during their clash with Brentford on Saturday. They chanted for the ex-Tottenham manager to "f*ck off" and also labelled Boehly a "c*nt" in scenes of open rebellion in the away end. In addition to taking aim at the pair, they also chanted for ex-manager Jose Mourinho and disgraced former owner Roman Abramovich.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Chelsea opened the scoring through Nicolas Jackson but were pegged back by Mads Roerslev before Yoanne Wissa scored a stunning bicycle kick. Axel Disasi managed to equalise late on with a bullet header, earning the Blues a point, but they remain languishing in 11th, and were also beaten in last weekend's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
