Hungry Wolves devour cowardly Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
In another episode of poor performance this season, Chelsea fell to Wolverhampton at Stamford Bridge in the English Premier League on Sunday.
Wolverhampton stunned Chelsea 4-2 in a six-goal thriller, grabbing their first win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge since 1979.
The Blues came into the game looking strong as Cole Palmer grabbed an opener in the 19th minute.
But Wolves came back stronger, cancelling Chelsea’s lead three minutes later courtesy of Matheus Cunha’s goal.
Wolves took the lead as Chelsea’s Disasi netted an own goal in the 43rd minute, leaving the Blues behind into first-half break.
Returning into the second half, the Blues played harder, but the Wolves increased their tally.
Cunha netted for Wolves in the 63rd and 82nd minutes from the spot, grabbing a hat-trick.
Thiago Silva scored Chelsea’s second goal to reduce the deficit, but it was not enough to save the Blues from their 10th defeat of the season.
With 32 points in 23 games, Sunday’s victory saw Wolves displace Chelsea from 10th position on the EPL log.
