Chelsea's collapse continued on Tuesday night as Brighton beat them 3-0 at the Amex Stadium. Kadioglu scored in the 3rd minute, Hinshelwood added a second on 56, and Welbeck completed the rout in the 90th. Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro were both absent through injury. Liam Rosenior blasted his players after the game. Chelsea have now lost five Premier League games in a row without scoring — the first time that has happened since November 1912. They are now 7th on 48 points, seven behind Liverpool in 5th. Their Champions League qualification hopes are hanging by a thread.
