Benitez rues fixture pile-up

A 2-2 draw with Brentford gives Chelsea an extra match to play

Interim manager Rafael Benitez said his Chelsea players are beginning to suffer from the demands of a congested fixture list after securing an FA Cup replay at third-tier Brentford.

The Spaniard was relieved his side recovered after twice falling behind to the League One club, eventually clinching a 2-2 draw through Fernando Torres' late equalizer.
