They were beaten by the Black Cats following a dubious penalty award.

After the match, Alonso did not have any argument over the penalty and added that the club have time to reflect before the season resumes. He said: "Today the feeling is not the best, but we have time to come back and reflect and come back for November and December and progressing." The Blues have dropped to fifth in the standings with 16 points and they are already 11 adrift of Arsenal, who are the runaway leaders for now.

Chelsea were fancied to challenge for the league title under manager Xabi Alonso but they have not come close to doing so in the last few weeks. Hopefully, they can turn their fortunes around later this year.
