Chelsea have not scored in the league since beating Luton in August and fast food chain Domino’s are taunting them ahead of Monday night’s meeting with Fulham
Fast food joint Domino's have continued their relentless mockery of Chelsea as the Blues continue to struggle for fire power up front at the start of Mauricio Pochettino's tenure at the helm.
The Blues have scored five times in the Premier League so far - three of those coming in a 3-0 win over Luton - and are on a run of three consecutive 1-0 defeats ahead of a west London derby clash with Fulham on Monday night.
Following the most recent of those losses - at home to Aston Villa - Domino's took to X to announce they had delivered 'about 852,609 pizzas' since the Blues last goal in the league.

He must avoid that — Pochettino slams Chelsea star for partying despite defeat
Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has sent a warning to Noni Madueke after the winger was spotted partying.
However, ahead of a huge clash with Fulham, the American fast food chain have taken their ribbing to a new level, positioning a digital live tracker outside the Fulham ground tallying just how many deliveries have been made.
The original estimate, made a week ago, seems a conservative one in comparison with the tally shown by the live tracker, which claims as many as 9,892,022 had been delivered as of Monday morning.
Domino's took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday to state: “We did the maths - turns out it's worse than we thought,” followed by an image of the counter showing the new figure.
Fans attending the game will be able to see the ongoing count before kick-off on Monday evening, with the number potentially rolling over to next weekend should the Cottagers hold firm at the back.
Outside of Premier League action the Blues have fared somewhat better, with a 1-0 win over Brighton last Wednesday, and a 2-1 victory over Wimbledon in August, both of which came in the Carabao Cup.
“We need to grow up like a team, not only in an individual way,” Pochettino said after last weekend's bruising defeat to Aston Villa. “I think players like Nico (Jackson) who are so young and feeling the Premier League, they need time.

STARS ABROAD Kenyan winger joins Leicester City from Chelsea
The Kenyan right winger joined Chelsea as an Under 10 and spent close to a decade with the Blues before he was deemed surplus to requirements.
“In this type of game, we are competing and want to win and football is about winning. But also players, when they are young, need to learn, and experience and make mistakes. That's why we feel disappointed as there are too many situations like this.”
To make matters worse, the Blues will be without striker Nicolas Jackson on Monday evening, after he incurred a one-match suspension by virtue of picking up too many bookings.
