Chelsea falls into a disastrous century-old record

Chelsea suffered another heavy defeat, falling 3-0 to Brighton in Tuesday night's Premier League match . The Blues' woes weren't limited to the loss itself; they extended their winless streak to five consecutive league defeats without scoring a single goal – a record for over a century . This is the first time Chelsea have endured such a disastrous run in the domestic league since November 1912, 114 years ago, when they finished 18th and narrowly avoided relegation . Chelsea currently sit seventh in the Premier League table, but their position is precarious, and they could slip into the bottom half of the table if results from their rivals go against them in the upcoming rounds.
