Chelsea’s struggles persist as they suffer yet another defeat, this time to Southampton at Stamford Bridge. This loss marks their fourth in the last ten Premier League matches, with only two victories to show for their efforts. Despite the significant investment made by the club’s new ownership, led by American billionaire Todd Boehly and a consortium of investors, manager Graham Potter has yet to prove his worth. His record-breaking transfers, including Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, and João Félix, have failed to produce the desired results, leaving Chelsea languishing in the bottom half of the table in 10th place.
Meanwhile, During the match, Cesar Azpilicueta was forced to leave the field on a stretcher following a kick from Sékou Mara.
Looking ahead, Chelsea faces tough challenges, including a London derby against Tottenham Hotspur and a must-win match against Borussia Dortmund if they hope to qualify for the Champions League quarterfinals.
