Brighton & Hove Albion handed Chelsea a fifth consecutive scoreless league defeat on Tuesday, winning 3-0 at home through goals from Ferdi Kadioglu in the third minute and Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck in the second half. The result moves Brighton above Chelsea into sixth place in the Premier League (England's top football division) on 50 points, leaving Chelsea — who have won just once in their last nine league matches — at serious risk of missing out on European competition next season. Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior did not spare his players after the final whistle, calling the display "unacceptable in every area" and admitting it was the most difficult night of his managerial career, with the club now turning attention to an FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United on Sunday.
