On December 24, Beijing time, the 18th round of the English Premier League continued, and the 10th-ranked Chelsea challenged the 14th-ranked Wolves away. It's worth mentioning that Wolves are unbeaten in their last six league games at home, while the Blues have suffered three consecutive defeats away from home, so let's take a look at the highlights of the game and the real-time standings of their respective teams.
The Blues dominated the opening stages, with Raheem Sterling in excellent form and strong runs down the wing, delivering frequent second-pass passes, but Armando Broja and Jacquesson's abstract performances squandered chances. Seeing an excellent counterattack of three to one in front, Sterling took the ball to the penalty area and chose to push his own shot and was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Wolves gradually formed a counter-attack, and Hwang Hee-chan and Saravia had shots in succession defused, so that the two teams temporarily exchanged blanks at half-time.
In the 51st minute, Saravia crossed from a corner kick, Lemina rubbed the ball into the goal with a light jump, and wasted chances will be punished.
Nkunku and Mykhailo Mudryk came off the bench but couldn't turn the tide before Doherty capitalised on a mistake to end the suspense and Nkunku pulled a late goal back but it was too late to end Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Wolves.
Chelsea and Manchester United are brothers, both teams will disappoint you when you think he is getting better, and more importantly, the performance of the strikers is an abstraction of Xi. In the first 18 rounds, Chelsea ranked 10th with 22 points from 6 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses, while Manchester United ranked 8th with 28 points from 9 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses.
Arsenal has 12 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses with 40 points, leading by 1 point, followed by Liverpool and Aston Villa with 39 points, Tottenham Hotspur is ranked 4th with 36 points, and Manchester City is temporarily in 5th place with 34 points in one less game. Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United are temporarily in the relegation zone.
