Chelsea suffer fourth consecutive defeat; Liam Delap: We must turn things around.

Chelsea, nicknamed the "Blue Lions," lost 0-1 to Manchester United in the 33rd round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, following a disallowed goal by Liam Delap and a subsequent goal conceded. Liam Delap stated that the team could have performed better and therefore must find a way to correct their mistakes.

In the 38th minute of the match, Enzo received the ball and took a long-range shot, but it was blocked by Manchester United goalkeeper Lamens. Then Palmer passed the ball across the goal, and Liam Delap scored from close range. However, Palmer was offside before the goal was disallowed.

In the 43rd minute, Bruno Fernandes crossed the ball from the right wing, and Cunha immediately stepped up and slotted it into the net, giving Manchester United a 1-0 lead.

Chelsea ultimately lost 0-1 to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. After suffering their fourth consecutive defeat, Chelsea currently sits in 6th place in the league table with 48 points, 7 points behind 5th-placed Liverpool, putting them at a disadvantage in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.

Chelsea striker Liam Delap said: "It's really disappointing because we felt we didn't deserve this result. We were the better team, and it feels terrible. We had a player who had to leave the field, and at that moment we needed to adjust quickly and defend well, but we didn't."

“On another day, we could score four goals in the second half, but these are the days when things don’t go well. It’s not that we didn’t create chances; we created a lot of chances. We just need to make some subtle adjustments at crucial moments to actually put the ball in the net.”

Liam Delap said, "We feel frustrated, but the responsibility is on our own, and we must turn things around. We have a great chance to do that in a few days."

In addition, Chelsea will travel to Brighton for the next league match, and next week they will participate in the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United.

When discussing the team's goals, Liam Delap said, "We believe in each other and we believe we can achieve both goals at the same time. That's our plan and our objective. We must first focus on the next game, and then there's an important game against Leeds United. As long as we handle a few small details well, we'll be fine."
