Pochettino continued to play a 4-2-3-1 system despite injuries to a number of key players, with Petrovic coming on as the starting goalkeeper, Gusto, Disasi, Silva and Colwill at the back, Ugochukwu and Conor Gallagher at the back, and the midfield trio of Palmer, Jackson and Raheem Sterling, with Armando Broja up front as a lone striker.
As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Chelsea launched a fierce attack on the Wolves goal, creating a lot of good scoring opportunities, but their attacking line combined to give the fans a textbook wasted performance, and after picking up the ball in the box in the fifth minute, Armando Broja could have gone straight to the feet, but he tried to get past the defenders, causing the attack to be disrupted.
In the 8th minute, Sterling sent a through ball to create a single chance for Jackson, but unfortunately the latter was too slow, the ball was cleared by the defender who was chasing back, and in the 21st minute, Sterling's pass tore through the Wolves defense again, and the 45° cross from the right found Jackson accurately, but the latter stopped the ball and made a mistake and failed to form a goal.
Raheem Sterling, who had repeatedly created chances for his team-mates, also wasted a great chance in the 32nd minute, when Sterling did not pass the ball to a better-placed team-mate in front of him, but opted to shoot straight at goal, and the ball was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
At the start of the second half, there was a huge mistake in the Chelsea backline, Thiago Silva, who has always been known for his steadiness, slipped at the edge of the penalty area, giving Wolves the opportunity to attack on the spot, Gomez's long-range shot hit the defender and grazed the post and went out of the line, and in the next attacking round, Gomes crossed from the wing, Todi in the box was close to the header of the goal, but fortunately, the Blues goalkeeper Petrovic made a brilliant save to keep the goal intact.
However, the Wolves' fierce pursuit still paid off in the 51st minute, after Saravia's corner kick on the right side, Lemina, who was ambushed in the penalty area, hit the goal with a header, so that Petrovic did not react, and Wolves also took a 1-0 lead, and the camera was given to Pochettino on the sidelines, who was also helpless.
Chelsea regained the initiative and began to press Wolves on the pitch, but the lack of attack allowed their attack to blossom, but it was Wolves who fought back sharply in stoppage time to seal the win through Doherty and extend their advantage to 2-0, although Nkunku scored the first goal of his Blues career in the final moments, but was powerless to change the outcome of the 1-2 defeat.
