In a thrilling match against Wolves, Chelsea suffered a disappointing defeat, conceding four goals and failing to convert their chances. The teams started the game exchanging scoring opportunities, with both goalkeepers, Petrovic and Nkunku, making impressive saves.

As the match progressed, Chelsea dominated possession, but it was Wolves who posed a significant threat on counter-attacks and turnovers. However, Chelsea fans were briefly delighted when Caicedo delivered a fantastic through-ball to Palmer, who confidently slotted the ball into the bottom left corner, giving Chelsea an early lead.

Unfortunately for Chelsea, their advantage was short-lived. Caicedo lost possession at the halfway line, allowing Cunha to take advantage of the opportunity. Cunha's shot deflected off Thiago Silva and found the back of the net, leveling the score at 1-1.

Wolves continued to capitalize on their chances and were soon rewarded with another goal. Axel Disasi unintentionally deflected the ball into his own net, giving Wolves a 2-1 lead. While luck played a part, the play leading to the chance showcased Wolves' excellent attacking prowess and exposed Chelsea's defensive weaknesses.

Entering the second half, Chelsea showed more determination, creating several scoring opportunities. However, both Sterling and Palmer failed to convert these chances into goals. Wolves, on the other hand, continued to exploit Chelsea's vulnerable defense, with Cunha scoring his second goal of the game on a swift counter-attack.

Chelsea's hope for a comeback crumbled as Cunha completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot. Despite Thiago Silva's header from a Mudryk corner providing little consolation for Chelsea, the team missed several glorious opportunities during the added time.

The loss against Wolves marks Chelsea's second consecutive defeat in the league, dropping them into the bottom half of the table. Wolves, on the other hand, climbed to the 10th position, bolstered by their impressive performance.

As Chelsea looks to regroup, their focus now shifts to the FA Cup replay against Aston Villa, which will take place away from home. The team will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities and capitalize on their attacking chances to secure a victory and regain their winning momentum.
