Chelsea have just drawn against Brighton, the latest game where victory has escaped them at the last minute.
If it feels like a pattern, we’ve got some bad news- the numbers back it up. OptaJoe published the following horrifying stat at full time:
11 – Chelsea have dropped 11 points from leading positions in the Premier League this season – more than they did in the whole of last season (10). Slip. #CHEBHA

Now that record is even more amazing when you consider how strongly we started the season. Thomas Tuchel’s team played some gritty games and were undefeated for long stretches.
It’s all come in this last two month period where injuries and Covid caught up to us. This bleed may already be fatal, we just don’t know it yet.
