Chelsea and Arsenal suffered another defeat in the English Premier League (EPL) as they were beaten by Aston Villa and West Ham United respectively.
While the Blues lost 1-2, the Gunners slipped to a 0-1 deficit.
It was the latest goalkeeping calamity for Chelsea this season after Jorgensen replaced the even more error-prone Robert Sanchez.
Chelsea have been beaten four times in their last five games in all competitions, leaving them one point adrift of the top four in sixth place.
Seventh-placed Villa, who held leaders Liverpool to a hard-fought 2-2 draw in midweek, are one point behind Chelsea thanks to a result that rekindled their own top-four ambitions.
In last week’s 0-3 loss at Brighton, Chelsea failed to muster a single shot on target for the first time in a league match since 2021.
Fresh Gunners Slip
The latest defeat left Arsenal’s Premier League title bid in jeopardy.
With leaders Liverpool not in action until Sunday’s trip to Manchester City, Arsenal had a chance to close the gap in the title race with victory at the Emirates Stadium.
But Mikel Arteta’s side stumbled to their first loss in 16 league games as Jarrod Bowen netted West Ham’s first-half winner before the Gunners had Myles Lewis-Skelly sent off after the interval.
Second-placed Arsenal, whose last top-flight defeat came at Newcastle in November, are eight points behind Liverpool, who could move a massive 11 points clear if they beat struggling City.
