A 'bean powder club' leaking lineup info via its barber... Chelsea suffers its first five-game winless streak without a goal in 114 years, with "reasons behind it"

Chelsea has been dragged into the humiliating record of five consecutive winless matches without scoring a goal for the first time in 114 years.

Under manager Liam Rosenior, Chelsea suffered a 0-3 away defeat to Brighton at the American Express Stadium in Brighton, England, on the morning of the 22nd (Korean time) in the 34th round of the 2025-2026 English Premier League (EPL).

Plunged into a five-game winless streak without scoring in the league, Chelsea dropped to seventh place in the standings after being overtaken by Brighton (50 points), while Chelsea sits at 48 points (13 wins, 9 draws, 12 losses).

After conceding the opening goal to Ferdi Kadioglu in the third minute of the first half, Chelsea collapsed after allowing consecutive goals from Jack Hinshelwood in the 11th minute of the second half and Danny Welbeck in stoppage time.

The most serious issue is Chelsea's weak attacking power. Starting from the 0th-1 loss to Newcastle United on the 15th of last month, Chelsea has failed to score a single goal in five league matches and lost all of them. According to the UK's BBC, Chelsea's five consecutive winless matches without scoring is the first time since 1912, a span of 114 years. On this day, Chelsea attempted six shots but recorded zero on target. The record of zero on-target shots is the first since February 2025.

Lax discipline outside the match also came under scrutiny. An absurd incident occurred where Marc Cucurella's barber leaked news of Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro's injury absences in advance through social media (SNS).

According to the UK's 'Mirror', Cucurella's barber posted a photo seemingly showing him grooming Cucurella's hair on his social media (SNS), along with the caption: "Palmer and Joao Pedro both injured. Exclusive news."

This absurd leak turned out to be true. In the officially announced Chelsea lineup, the names of Palmer and Pedro were indeed omitted.

The issue of lineup leaks is not new for Chelsea this season. Earlier, the lineup was also leaked by an internal source during the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) match. At that time, manager Rosenior insisted that the leaker was an outsider rather than a player within the club. However, this incident revealed that the source of the leak is very close to the squad.
