Chelsea’s slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League took a huge blow on Tuesday night, as they were thrashed 3-0 at Brighton in the Premier League.
The Blues have not won or scored in the league since March 14.
And the defeat at the Amex was their fifth consecutive loss.
Brighton opened the scoring as early as the third minute through Ferdi Kadioglu.
The hosts were unlucky not to be three goals up at half time. But after the break, they found the back of the net again, with Jack Hinshelwood making it 2-0.
Danny Welbeck came off the bench to add a third as Brighton leapfrogged Chelsea into sixth place on the table.
