Axel Disasi scored a late header to rescue a point for Chelsea at Brentford in the Premier League.
Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken gave away a cheap corner and his side were punished as Disasi rose to head in Cole Palmer's cross with seven minutes remaining.
Yoane Wissa scored a sensational acrobatic volley to put Brentford 2-1 in front, but they could not hold on for the three points.
Sergio Reguilon's cross into the box was headed away before Frank Onyeka flicked the ball up and Wissa contorted his body to finish superbly.
Nicolas Jackson had earlier opened the scoring for the away side in the first half before Mads Roerslev equalised soon after the break.
Chelsea dominated the opening 45 minutes, with Jackson heavily involved.
The Senegalese forward was denied a tap-in thanks to Roerslev's interception of Enzo Fernandez's pass.
Jackson then went round Flekken after latching on to Fernandez's through ball, but his weak shot was cleared with ease by Mathias Jorgensen.
He eventually found the net five minutes later, rising highest to bury a header from Malo Gusto's pinpoint cross for his first league goal since mid December.
