Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, has said that their 3-0 defeat at Brighton on Friday night, is “the worst performance” since he arrived at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues lost 2-1 at the Amex in the FA Cup last weekend and were seeking revenge in their Premier League clash.
But Kaoru Mitoma scored a splendid goal to open the floodgates, before a Yankuba Minteh brace sealed the win.
“Probably since I arrived that is the worst performance, especially in the moment we are in,” Maresca told reporters.
“We are fourth in the league and winning tonight you can go one point from third and make the gap to the rest bigger and the performance is not one you want to offer so we are very upset and sorry for the fans that were here.
“For half an hour I think we were in control but after this moment [Kaoru Mitoma’s goal] we looked like we could concede chances easily and we struggled to create chances.
“The reason is because of the injuries in this moment, especially with the strikers…important players are out but we need to find a solution.”
