Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic admits frustration with the manner of defeat to Chelsea.

Stoke are 13th and still struggling to find consistency this term, with their last three results being a win, a draw and a loss.

One way in which they have found continuity has been undesirable - Monday's game was the 11th league fixture in a row that has seen them fail to keep a clean sheet.

Potters goalkeeper Asmir Begovic admits that is something that needs addressing swiftly.

"We have to start keeping clean sheets," Begovic told Stoke City Player.

"We have been sloppy at times by switching off at key moments and that's been costing us lately.

"We obviously need to try to fix that going forward.

"If we can get positive results then everybody is happy, but keeping clean sheets certainly helps and we will attempt to solve that as quickly as possible."
