Chelsea's season took a significant setback when they lost 3-0 to Brighton, marking their fifth consecutive game without a win. Manager Liam Rosenior labelled the team's performance as "indefensible" and criticised his players. The loss further jeopardised Chelsea's hopes of Champions League qualification. Brighton's victory pushed them into sixth place in the Premier League table. Chelsea has now lost five consecutive games without scoring, a feat which hasn't happened since 1912. The only other team to go on a five-game winless run this season is Wolves. The team's next game is against Leeds in an FA Cup semifinal at Wembley.
