Chelsea lost without the right to appeal at Brighton (0-3), in front of the team with which they played, falling to 7th place, 7 points behind Liverpool, the last occupier of a Champions League position. The Londoners have reached five consecutive defeats to zero, a counter-performance last recorded 114 years ago!
The no-show score made by Chelsea on Tuesday night, in the prologue of the 34th round, aggravated the crisis in the team at “Stamford Bridge”. Brighton handed them their fifth league defeat in a row, a period in which Liam Rosenior's side didn't even score, conceding 11 goals instead.
The Londoners most recently changed the scoreboard in the Premier League in the match on March 4 in Birmingham, 4-1 with Aston Villa. Joao Pedro's goal, which completed his hat-trick in the 64th minute, was the last for the current club world champions and Conference League holders.

Liam Rosenior: “An unacceptable performance with no explanation. Something that needs to change immediately at Chelsea”
It has not happened for more than a century, more precisely since 1912, that the group from the capital of the United Kingdom has remained dry in such a black series! and the words of manager Liam Roseinor had the air of a capitulation, or at least of an irreparable rupture: “An unacceptable performance with no explanation. It's something that needs to change immediately.

I can't come here and take responsibility because of what I saw today.” The English coach, who arrived in January from Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca, appeared to have revitalized a troubled dressing room.
However, since March, Chelsea have only won one of their last nine matches (success with Aston Villa and draw with Burnley). Only Tottenham have fewer points collected in the championship in the same period, two!
Under these conditions, it is hard to believe that Todd Boehly will keep Rosenior for next season. The English press is wondering if the American boss would avoid a fourth change of technical leadership in less than two years or decide to replace him immediately in order not to risk being left out of Europe.
