Chelsea sacked manager Liam Rosenior on Wednesday following a catastrophic run of form ​that has left the London club's Champions League hopes hanging by a thread while they also endured their worst goalscoring drought in over a century, Reuters reported. 

Rosenior lasted less than four months in the role after his January appointment following Enzo Maresca's departure, becoming the latest casualty of Chelsea's turbulent season after seven defeats in their last eight matches across all competitions.

Rosenior's dismissal came a day after a humiliating 3-0 loss at ​Brighton & Hove Albion, which saw the south-coast club leapfrog Chelsea into sixth place in the table. Chelsea are now ​seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

Mitchell Marsh is trying to put a disappointing Twenty20 World Cup campaign behind him but the Australian all-rounder concedes he has yet to hit his stride in the Indian Premier League with the Lucknow Super Giants in urgent need of some inspiration, Reuters reported. 

Marsh delivered a stellar performance in the IPL last year, scoring 627 runs at an average of 48.23, including his highest score in the format with an innings of 117 off 64 balls against Gujarat Titans.

But he has fallen far short of those lofty levels this year, with the 34-year-old accumulating only 155 runs in the first six matches, averaging 25.83.

Brighton & Hove Albion's Ferdi Kadioglu netted an early opener and Jack Hinshelwood ​and Danny Welbeck scored in the second half to pile more misery on Chelsea, beating the floundering ​Londoners 3-0 in the Premier League on ⁠Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

The result sees Brighton climb above their visitors to sixth in the table on 50 points, two ahead of ‌Chelsea, who have won one of their last nine league games and are in danger of missing out on European football next season ⁠if they cannot find a way out ⁠of their slump.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior shuffled both his players and his tactics during the game, but they had no response ​to going in ‌a goal down at the break, and his team limped to another embarrassing defeat.

Real Madrid secured a 2-1 home victory over struggling Alaves in LaLiga on Tuesday with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr to end a four-match winless run in all competitions, Reuters reported. 

The win moved second-placed Real to 73 points, six behind leaders Barcelona ahead of the Catalan side's home fixture against Celta Vigo on Wednesday. For Alaves, the defeat leaves them 17th, a solitary point above Elche in the final relegation spot.

Real dominated the opening stages as they sought to recover from a recent Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich, while they had also failed to win their last two LaLiga outings.
