Chelsea Sets Unwanted Record with 3-0 Loss to Brighton

Chelsea FC faced a significant setback on Tuesday, losing 3-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium. This defeat marks an unwanted record for Chelsea, as it is their fifth consecutive Premier League match without scoring, a situation not experienced since November 1912.

The goals for Brighton were scored by Danni Welbeck, Jack Hinshelwood, and Ferdi Kadioglu. According to Opta, this outcome leaves Chelsea in 7th place in the Premier League table, trailing behind Brighton, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

Chelsea's next match is a FA Cup semi-final tie against Leeds United on Sunday. Liam Rosenior's side will need to win their remaining four Premier League matches to stand a chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season.
