Chelsea's poor run continued with a 3-0 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League, a result that marked the Blues' fifth consecutive league loss.
Chelsea's official match report confirmed that Ferdi Kadioglu opened the scoring early, Jack Hinshelwood doubled Brighton's lead early in the second half, and Danny Welbeck added a late third in stoppage time.
The latest defeat increases the pressure on Chelsea and also allowed Brighton to move above them in the table. Chelsea once again struggled in the final third and failed to turn possession spells into meaningful attacking output.
Chelsea will now look for a swift response in their upcoming fixtures, while Brighton boosted their push for a strong finish with a convincing home win.
