• Garnacho’s £40m switch from Manchester United led to a lively Chelsea debut at Brentford, but he lost Fabio Carvalho for the 93rd-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw.
• Pat Nevin wrote that he is not convinced by replacing Madueke with Garnacho, highlighting an inevitable season-long comparison between the pair.
