Chelsea's Slide Continues: Embarrassing 3-0 Defeat to Brighton
Liam Rosenior's Side Suffers Fifth Consecutive Premier League Loss
Chelsea's slide towards mid-table mediocrity under Liam Rosenior continued at Brighton on Tuesday, with the blunt Blues suffering an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at the Amex Stadium. After four consecutive Premier League losses without scoring a single goal, the fifth-placed Londoners had arrived on the south coast hoping to revive their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League.
Abject Performance Against Brighton
However, they now sit sixth after allowing Brighton to climb above them with disturbing ease. Indeed, despite the enormity of the game for Chelsea, Rosenior's side showed almost no urgency at all and found themselves a goal down after just three minutes of play, with Ferdi Kadioglu firing home from inside the area after the visitors had failed dismally to deal with a corner.
- Chelsea have lost five consecutive Premier League matches.
- The Blues have failed to score in four consecutive Premier League games.
- Brighton climbed above Chelsea in the Premier League table with the win.
