10 unbelievable stats that sum up Chelsea’s diabolical form

Chelsea suffered yet more frustration as local rivals Brentford came away from Stamford Bridge with a 2-0 victory.

Recent weeks have seen Mauricio Pochettino's project threaten to burst into life, but results remain forthcoming. The club have famously spent heavily under new owner Todd Boehly but that has yet to translate into on-pitch success.

The Blues now find themselves 14 points behind table-toppers Tottenham and could end up 11 points adrift of the top four come the end of the weekend, leaving them a mountain to climb if they're to achieve their ambition of getting back into the Champions League.

Ethan Pinnock put Brentford ahead midway through the second half. Chelsea created chances to equalise but were once again profligate with their finishing and paid the price as Brentford rubbed salt into their wounds by scoring on the counter in the dying seconds.

“After the first half should score and we should,” Pochettino told reporters in his post-match press conference.

“If you don't score you should blame yourself. We were not clinical. Sometimes you need luck and after for sure the game changed in the second half. We cannot concede this type of goal.”

Here are 10 stats that sum up Chelsea's woes:

– Chelsea's squad cost five times as much as Brentford's and their wage bill is almost four times as much. Thomas Frank's Bees finished 15 points ahead of Chelsea last season and have taken 10 points from their last four matches against them.

– Brentford have won on each of their last three visits to Stamford Bridge. Ethan Pinnock has more league wins (three) at Stamford Bridge than the Premier League's all-time most expensive signing, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez (two) – via the brilliant @RichJolly.
