Chelsea makes unwanted history with third straight 0-0

For the first time in its history, Chelsea was held to a goalless draw for the third successive match in all competitions on Saturday.

Chelsea has struggled for ammunition in recent weeks and the story was no different on Saturday.

Chelsea's stuttering form in front of goal continued against Leicester City on Saturday and made a piece of unwanted history for the Blues.

With a goalless draw against the Foxes, which played the last 22 minutes with 10 men following Ben Chilwell's second yellow card at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea was held 0-0 for the third successive match in all competitions for the first time.

Match report

Antonio Conte's side was unable to develop any momentum as the visitor put on a fine display of high pressing to disrupt the champion.

Eden Hazard was starved of service and endured a quiet outing before being replaced in the 58th minute, while Alvaro Morata's dip in form showed no signs of ending as he failed to register a single shot on goal.

The Blues – which could slip behind Liverpool and into fourth on Sunday – will hope to get back on track in its FA Cup third-round replay at home to second-tier Norwich City on Wednesday.
