Fans in hysterics as damning Chelsea stat flashes up on the TV and shows just how bad they’ve been this season
FANS have been left in hysterics after a BT Sport stat underlined just how dreadful Chelsea’s season has been.
The Blues lost again last night to west London rivals Brentford as their appalling season continued to head south.
It is now five defeats for Chelsea with Frank Lampard also losing all five games of his reign.
But a simple stat from the night before seemed to emphasise just how bad things have become – and fans could barely believe their eyes.
A day before the Chelsea game, Leeds were taking on Leicester in a huge relegation at Elland Road.
With the Foxes leading in the second-half, broadcasters BT Sport produced a graphic showing that both sides had the potential for goals.
Despite their struggles this season, Leicester and Leeds sat top of the charts for most amount of goals by bottom-half Prem sides.
And it did not take long for fans on Twitter to spot the most interesting element of that stat.
Chelsea were only sixth on the list of most goals by bottom-half sides, underlining their severe scoring issues.
And is if that wasn’t enough, their entire team has fewer goals than Manchester City’s Erling Haaland alone.

Blues fans were left to despair but rival supporters could not hide their glee.
One tweeted: “What’s even funnier, is Chelsea being at the bottom of this graphic, after spending £600m on players and £100m replacing managers.”
Another added: “It’s even funnier that they only just scraped enough goals to be in it.”
And another joked: “Frank Lampard guiding Chelsea back to the top six!”
Nottingham Forest’s three goals last night mean they now trail Chelsea by just a single strike.
This is particularly incredible given they have just seven goals away from home all season.
Chelsea only have six goals more than the league’s lowest scorers Everton.
