Chelsea’s season sank deeper into crisis after a heavy 3-0 defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium, extending their run to five straight league losses without scoring.
The hosts wasted no time asserting control, with Ferdi Kadioglu opening the scoring just three minutes in after reacting quickest inside the box to turn home from close range.
Brighton dictated the tempo for most of the contest, while Chelsea struggled to gain any foothold, failing to register a meaningful attacking threat for long spells.
The pressure told again in the second half when Jack Hinshelwood capitalised on a slip from Moises Caicedo before calmly finishing to double the lead.
