Chelsea's Champions League hopes fade after sixth straight defeat

Chelsea's Champions League qualification hopes are near impossible after suffering a sixth consecutive Premier League defeat, leaving them 10 points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa.

The 3-1 home loss to Nottingham Forest means the Blues have lost six consecutive league games for the first time since November 1993. Joao Pedro's injury-time overhead kick provided scant consolation as large numbers of home fans left Stamford Bridge before the final whistle amid jeers.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher described the situation as 'shocking' and said it 'looks like a broken football club right now.' With just three games remaining, Chelsea face an uphill battle to secure European qualification, despite having the FA Cup final still to come. cricket-info.homes
