Brighton did it again. They beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup game on Saturday and today they did even better by defeating them 3-0.
It's pretty obvious that there's something wrong going on with Chelsea. Out of their last 10 games (all competitions) they won only 3 times, drew twice, and lost 5 times.
They're still pretty high in the league table, currently at 4th place, but they might drop tomorrow and got overtaken by either Man City or Newcastle, or even Bournemouth who are playing weak Southampton.
Earlier in the season it looked like they could be a serious contender for winning the league, but those hopes are gone now. They'll be lucky if they finish in the top 4.
Chelsea claimed that they are not fighting for the Premier League this season, but among the top 4 which they're hoping to finish will be difficult for Maresca to secure this season. However, Brighton enjoy anytime they play against Chelsea, after they humiliated Chelsea in the FA Cup, they still did the same thing to beat Chelsea 3:0 in the Premier League.
Chelsea failed to have a single shots on target, this is the first time I can see Chelsea played a match without having a single shots on target. They still have 14 more matches to play before the season should end, maybe they can still strengthen their position with the rest of the games.
