The Blues took the lead thanks to the brilliance of Caicedo and Cole Palmer, but were overturned and lost heavily.

Welcoming 11th-ranked opponent Wolves at home in round 23 of the Premier League, Chelsea soon scored the opening goal with a brilliant individual play. In the 20th minute, Moises Caicedo launched a pass to eliminate the opponent’s defense, allowing Cole Palmer to escape and finish diagonally into the net.

But after the opening goal, Chelsea lost the match to Wolves. Just 1 minute after Palmer scored, the away team counterattacked Caicedo’s loss of the ball and got Cunha’s equalizer with a shot that hit Thiago Silva’s foot and flew into the net.

By the 43rd minute, the Wolves had taken a 2-1 lead with Ait-Nouri’s goal. Too unlucky for Chelsea at that time, a shot hit the defender’s leg and flew into the net. This time, it was Axel Disasi, leaving goalkeeper Petrovic unable to do anything more.

In the second half, Wolves continued to make Chelsea miserable with Pedro Neto’s speedy counter-attacks on the right wing. The scorer to increase the score to 3-1 for the away team was Cunha in the 63rd minute.

The end came for the Blues in the 89th minute when Malo Gusto fouled in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty to the Wolves. Matheus Cunha was the one to do it, and he succeeded in completing the hat-trick.

In the 86th minute, Chelsea shortened the score to 2-4 thanks to Thiago Silva, and this was also the final score of the match. It was a disappointing performance by Chelsea, as this was their second consecutive heavy loss after a 1-4 defeat to Liverpool in midweek. This result caused the Blues to be robbed of their position by the Wolves and pushed them to the bottom half of the rankings (11th place).
