7' CHANCE! Hazard's shot saved

Kante manages to combine brilliantly with Azpilicueta down the right wing and the Spaniard slides the ball down the line for the midfielder to chase.

From the right, Kante gets his head up and delivers a low cross into the back post where Hazard is arriving.

The attackers first-time strike is well hit, but Patricio gets down well to his left to deny the effort.


18' GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Chelsea (Loftus-Cheek)

There is a real element of good fortune in that goal following a huge deflection, but Chelsea take the lead nonetheless!

Loftus-Cheek takes a strike from the left side of the box and Coady attempts to steer the ball behind but instead turns in beyond Patricio and into the bottom right corner of the net. 0-1.



39' CHANCE! Willian's shot blocked

Hazard chips the ball over the top of Boly for Willian to run onto. The Brazilian looks to be through on goal and one-on-one with Patricio before Coady appears from nowhere and produces an exceptional last-ditch tackle to deny Willian.


56' SO CLOSE! Kante's shot wide out

Kante tries his luck from 25 yards out and his effort is close, but just goes wide of the far post. Patricio looked jconcerned by that strike.

59' GOAL! Wolves 1-1 Chelsea (Jimenez)

Gibbs-White finds himself in a little bit of space on the edge of the Chelsea box and manages to slide a wonderful pass into the path of Jimenez.

From the right side of the box, Jimenez’s right-footed shot flies beyond Kepa who fails to get enough on the effort to keep it out. 1-1.


63' GOAL! Wolves 2-1 Chelsea (Jota)

Wolves have taken the lead! Moutinho steals the ball away from Willian in the centre of the pitch before laying the ball off to the right for Doherty.

From the right-hand side, Doherty delivers a wonderful cross towards the back post and Jota is completely unmarked to tap the ball beyond Kepa. 2-1.
