Chelsea suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Sunderland in their Premier League encounter at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
Chelsea was rocked in the 36th minute when Enzo Le Fee converted a penalty after Brian Brobbey was fouled by Levi Colwill in the box.
Blues boss Xabi Alonso was furious that they were not given a foul on Cole Palmer in the build-up to the spot-kick.
This was Chelsea’s fourth loss in 10 league games this season, under Alonso, who took over as permanent manager from Liam Rosenior.
