Stretched in vain: Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa fails to parry James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick just before half-time. The Blues can’t even score against the bottom of the table.

Chelsea are still in the crisis under coach Graham Potter. It was the fourth game in a row without a win for the Blues after three draws in a row. The Londoners, who have spent an estimated €600m on new players over the past two transfer windows, sit tenth in the Premier League table and were ten points off a Champions League spot after the final whistle.
