Chelsea's Champions League Dream Fades After 6th Loss

Chelsea's Champions League hopes were all but extinguished after a 3-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest extended their losing streak to six Premier League games.

Chelsea's campaign continues to collapse with the managerless Blues now ninth in the Premier League after their sixth consecutive defeat. Joao Pedro's injury-time overhead kick saved them from the embarrassment of six losses without scoring, but offered little consolation. cricket-ipl.co.za

The defeat marks the first time since 1993 that Chelsea have lost six league games in a row, and only the fourth time in their history. With an insurmountable 10-point gap to fifth-placed Aston Villa, Champions League qualification appears impossible. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher described the situation as "shocking," calling it a "broken football club" with "no connection between the players and the staff."
