How many times Chelsea have lost a Premier League game by a four-goal margin

Chelsea slipped out of the top four in the Premier League as two goals and an assist by Joshua King helped Bournemouth to thump 4-0 victory over Maurizio Sarri’s side. The Blues’ Champions League hopes took a major blow on the south coast, as they crumbled to their heaviest league defeat since 1996. This is just the second time in the Premier League history Chelsea have lost a game by a four-goal margin, after losing 5-1 to Liverpool in September 1996. Chelsea have lost consecutive Premier League games for the first time since March 2018, when they were defeated by both Manchester clubs. The Blues have won 47 points after 24 games this season - three fewer than at this stage in 2017-18 (50).
