Frank Lampard believes Chelsea's poor recent form has something to do with his squad not being fit enough in comparison to their Premier League rivals.
The Blues' winless run – in all competitions – extended to six games on Saturday afternoon as Brighton overturned a one-goal deficit to beat them 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Danny Welbeck and Julio Enciso ensured three points for the high-flying Seagulls despite Conor Gallagher's early opener in west London.
Chelsea, despite being at home at the weekend, only registered eight shots with two of them on target. Meanwhile, visitors Brighton had 26 shots with 10 of them testing Kepa Arrizabalaga. It was a thoroughly deserved win for the Seagulls who looked much more up for it and even fitter than the Chelsea players.
