Chelsea breaks unwanted record as miserable season rolls on
Chelsea is already having a record-breaking year in the first 10 games of the 2015-16 Premier League season.
Unfortunately, the record they've broken isn't exactly cause for celebration:
30': Chelsea have now already trailed for more minutes this PL season than in their entire 2014/15 PL campaign (then 245 minutes) #CFCLive

Chelsea conceded a 17th-minute goal to West Ham midfielder Mauro Zarate at Upton Park. Thirteen minutes later, the Blues exceeded the total number of minutes they'd trailed by a goal in the entirety of the 2014-15 Premier League campaign.
The defending Premier League champions have now been behind for more than 245 minutes in the first quarter of the new season, which manager Jose Mourinho will certainly not be pleased with.
As the minutes kept rolling by, Chelsea failed to stop the timer after a Kurt Zouma shot was cleared off the line by the finest of margins.
It didn't help that Nemanja Matic was shown a red card right before the end of the first half.
