LONDON (AP) — Edouard Mendy’s string of stunning saves ensures Chelsea stays top of the English Premier League as Ben Chilwell’s strike seals a nervy 1-0 win at Brentford.

Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard also saw an effort cleared off the line by Trevoh Chalobah as Chelsea refused to break despite some desperate defending.
