Chelsea's dismal 3-0 defeat against Brighton has left their Champions League hopes in tatters, piling pressure on beleaguered boss Liam Rosenior.
The Blues produced one of their worst performances of the season, with Ferdi Kadioglu scoring in the first half and Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck netting after the interval.
Chelsea have now lost five consecutive league games without scoring, a feat last achieved in 1912, and have just one victory in their past nine league matches.
The team is languishing in seventh place, seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, and faces a daunting task to halt their wretched run and qualify for European football.
