Chelsea endured one of their worst ever Premier League weekends after their 6-0 loss at Manchester City saw them suffer their heaviest ever defeat in the competition.
Maurizio Sarri’s side were torn apart at the Etihad Stadium, as a hat-trick from Sergio Aguero, a brace from Raheem Sterling and a sweet strike from Ilkay Gundogan tore into the Blues who found themselves 4-0 down inside 25 minutes.
Indeed, Chelsea’s capitulation at the Etihad is their worst in any competition since they were beaten 7-0 by Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest in 1991.
The result comes off the back of an appalling run away from home under Sarri, whose side on their previous trip away from Stamford Bridge were left stunned in a 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth.
Failure to score at City also means Chelsea have still yet to score a goal away from the Bridge in 2019.
The heavy defeats on the road also mark another milestone, as it is the first time since December 1990 that they have conceded four or more goals away from home in consecutive top flight fixtures.
