Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson reportedly shushed a fan in the stands after they vented their frustrations at him during the Brentford clash.
With the score at 0-0 heading into half-time, multiple reporters took to X to say one supporter had a go at the striker.
"Why don't you score a goal," the fan said, with Jackson responding by putting a finger to his lips.
Mauricio Pochettino then jumped to the defence of his player and told the Blues supporter to sit down.
Jackson, who made his seventh Premier League start of the season, was a quiet figure during the first-half against Brentford.
He has scored three goals for Chelsea during his first season in west London, with his most recent coming their 4-1 win over Burnley.
The Senegal international is yet to establish himself as the man to help solve the Blues' scoring woes.
Pochettino's side have continued their trend from recent years of dominating matches in terms of chances but not finding the net.
Last season proved just that, and their struggles seem to be continuing with just 13 league goals being scored so far this season.
Issues in defence also remain as Brentford took the lead, with Ethan Pinnock capitalising on a lack of concentration to head in.
