Chelsea have suffered another Premier League defeat - going down 3-0 away to Brighton this morning.

This means The Blues have now lost five league matches in a row without scoring for the first time in more than a century.

The result leaves Chelsea seventh in the standings and looking increasingly unlikely to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Blues boss Liam Rosenior offered no excuses, admitting that his team’s performance was unprofessional and far from the level expected.
