Chelsea's dismal season continued with a 3-0 defeat against Brighton, leaving them in seventh place in the Premier League and seven points adrift of a Champions League spot. The match marked Chelsea's fifth consecutive league loss without scoring, a record not seen since 1912. Brighton's Ferdi Kadioglu opened the scoring early, followed by goals from Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck, as Chelsea struggled to respond. The Blues have now lost seven out of their last eight matches across all competitions, raising questions about the future of coach Liam Rosenior, who took over in January. Despite claims of support from the club's owners, the atmosphere among fans is increasingly toxic, with protests against ownership and chants demanding the return of the club's former glory. Chelsea's next challenge is a crucial FA Cup semi-final against Leeds, where a loss could jeopardize Rosenior's position further.
