Struggling to make headway, Chelsea failed to find their rhythm in the final third, particularly with Cole Palmer seemingly out of form.

In the dying moments, Wolves capitalized on Chelsea’s commitment forward, as Hugo Bueno’s cross allowed Matt Doherty to exploit a defensive lapse, securing Wolves’ second goal.

Chelsea found a late consolation through substitute Christopher Nkunku’s header, marking his first goal for the club.

However, Mauricio Pochettino’s side couldn’t evade their third consecutive away league defeat, leaving them with a challenging run in the Premier League.
