Brighton fans mock Chelsea with Liam Rosenior chant as Blues suffer humiliating 114-year low

Brighton fans jokingly chanted Liam Rosenior was one of their own as Chelsea lost 3-0 with another sorry performance.

The Blues were second best as goals Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck goals sent the Seagulls above them into sixth.

Chelsea head coach Rosenior returned to the club that he used to call home whilst facing immense pressure three months into his tenure.

Many of the Brighton faithful took the opportunity to mock the west Londoners during the second half on Tuesday night.

Chants of ‘Liam Rosenior, he’s one of our own!’ could be heard coming from the stands in the latest low point for Chelsea’s season.

They have now lost five consecutive league matches without scoring. Chelsea haven’t been on as bad a run of form since 1912.

Chelsea's last eight results

April 21 – Brighton 3-0 Chelsea – Premier League

April 18 – Chelsea 0-1 Manchester United – Premier League

April 12 – Chelsea 0-3 Manchester City – Premier League

April 4 – Chelsea 7-0 Port Vale – FA Cup

March 21 – Everton 3-0 Chelsea – Premier League

March 17 – Chelsea 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain – Champions League

March 14 – Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle United – Premier League

March 11 – Paris Saint-Germain 5-2 Chelsea – Premier League

Chelsea have one win in their last eight matches in all competitions, a 7-0 thrashing of League One strugglers Port Vale in the FA Cup.

Defeats have come against Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle United, Everton, Manchester City and Manchester United during the streak.

Brighton have become the latest side to pick up three points against the Blues, who look destined for another trophyless season.

They face in-form Leeds United in the FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday, live on talkSPORT.

It remains to be seen if Rosenior will remain in charge of Chelsea by the time they kick off at Wembley Stadium.

Once the full-time whistle was blown, the Blues squad faced up to the angry travelling support.

A large flag that read ‘BlueCo Out’ was spotted, days after a protest against the ownership.

Chelsea did not manage a single shot on target on the south coast, a damning indication of how low their confidence is at the moment.

Co-owner Behdad Eghbali was in the stands to watch the defeat in person, one of the worst of the ownership’s reign.

After the cup match against Leeds, Chelsea still face to face Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in the league.

Now seventh in the table, they look set to miss out on qualifying for European football.
