Chelsea set to break their own Premier League record after defensive shocker

Chelsea have just lost 3-0 to Sheffield United, a horror result that throws their Champions League hopes into serious doubt.

And this stat, as pointed out by Sky Sports, tells you everything you need to know:

The Blues let in 3 to take their total conceded to 49 this season โ€“ with 3 games still to play.

Our worst ever return in the league was 53 in 2015-2016, the Jose Mourinho collapse season. Weโ€™re well on course to beat that, despite being in and around the top 4.

Itโ€™s so obvious where our problems are at the back, and these kinds of performances are the same weโ€™ve seen time and again this season. The midfield fails to shield the defence, and the defence just crumbles.

Itโ€™s hardly like we were pushing either โ€“ we looked more likely to concede a fourth than score ourselves by the end.

Now, we all turn to CAS, who now look to have our Champions League destiny in their hands.
