Chelsea club just re-established a bad record after two decades
Joe Willock's beautiful goal in the second half brought the final victory for 'Shoots', thereby helping them consolidate 3rd place in the table with 1 point more than Tottenham.
As for Chelsea, this is also their 3rd consecutive defeat in recent times. In the Premier League, Mr. Graham Potter's teachers and students also lost 3 matches in a row. Before the defeat in the round of 16, the Blues "fallen" to Brighton and Arsenal in rounds 14 and 15.
This is also the first time since 2002, Chelsea club has lost 3 consecutive matches. Perhaps the loss of force and the fatigue of the players when they have to play with a dense density are the main reasons contributing to the Stamford Bridge team's crisis.
Sharing after the game, Mr. Porter himself also mentioned this: "This is really a difficult game for us. You can see the difference between the schedule of a team that does not have to kick in the middle. week with Chelsea's schedule".
With a bitter defeat in the trip to Newcastle on Saturday, Chelsea are falling behind in the championship race. But in the near future, they will have more than a month of rest when the World Cup takes place. And this is a good opportunity for The Blues to regain their spirit and form before entering phase 2.
