Enzo Maresca labels Chelsea's display against Brighton 'the worst' during his seven-month tenure - as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher slam the Blues after crushing 3-0 defeat

Enzo Maresca has labelled Chelsea's performance against Brighton on Friday night as 'the worst' of his time as the Blues boss.

Chelsea suffered a humbling 3-0 defeat by the Seagulls, thanks to a wondergoal from Kaoru Mitoma and a brace from Yankuba Minteh.

The Blues failed to register a shot on target in the match, just six days after managing only one in a 2-1 FA Cup defeat by the same opponent. In truth, Chelsea were fortunate to escape their south coast ordeal with only three concessions.

And a downbeat Maresca, who is under pressure amid his side's poor recent form, admitted that the display was the worst of his seven-month tenure.
