Omari Hutchinson echoed Chelsea’s manager Enzo Maresca’s claims that his former side is indeed not in the race for the 2024-25 Premier League.
The former Chelsea prodigy scored to put the final nail in the coffin as Ipswich stunned the six-time English champions 2-0 at home.
Kieran McKenna, manager for Ipswich, described the victory as his team’s best achievement since returning to the top-flight after suffering relegation in 2003.
Chelsea was considered by many as the closest contender to league leaders Liverpool for the title after enjoying five consecutive wins since their 1-1 draw at home with now title challengers Arsenal.
A goalless draw at Everton, a defeat at home to Fulham, and now a defeat away to lowly Ipswich has people believing their good run was just a flash in a pan and have been written off as title contenders.
Enzo Maresca may be looking to make changes to the squad when the winter transfer window opens, as he has always warned that he is not afraid to make changes when it matters.
