The home supporters spared no mercy for their former midfielder during a dominant second-half performance. As Brentford systematically dismantled Xabi Alonso’s side, the Brentford faithful were heard relishing every second of taunting Jordan Henderson.
Echoing around the stadium, fans enthusiastically broke into song: “Jordan, what’s the score? Jordan, Jordan, what’s the score?” The persistent taunts provided a hostile backdrop to a night to forget for the experienced midfielder.

The brutal reception stemmed directly from the midfielder’s summer transfer window exit. Henderson departed Brentford after a single season to join Chelsea on a free transfer, making his official Blues debut on Friday night against his former club.
Having recovered from a wrist injury sustained on international duty, Henderson was handed an immediate start by Alonso.
However, his return to West London quickly turned sour as Brentford’s midfield unit completely overrun the visitors following a goalless first half.
