Chelsea vs Wolves LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Cunha hat-trick inspires visitors’ win

Wolves are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches when leading at half-time (winning four) dating back to September 16 2023 against Liverpool (losing 3-1). They started the half quickly through Neto, but Sterling's missed chance has given the home fans something to cheer for.

WIDE! What an opportunity for Sterling. Palmer has possession on the left and he lofts a pass down the left side of the box to Chilwell, who drops a first-time pass back to Sterling. He is in space, but the winger drives his low effort past the bottom-right corner.

Rayan Ait-Nouri’s deflected goal has been changed to an own goal by Axel Disasi.

CHANCE! Woves start the half quickly. Neto collects possession inside Chelsea's half and surges into the box, using his strength to hold off Gusto. He pushes away the defender and gets a shot away from a tight angle that is pushed away by Petrovic.

Chelsea get the ball rolling again through Nkunku.

Wolves had seven shots in the first half and hit the target three times but their xG (expected goals) of 0.35 suggests they are fortunate to have scored twice. Two huge defections beat Petrovic, who was given no chance on either occasion. The visitors have had just 39.1 per cent of the possession, but have almost completely nullified a Chelsea attack that lacks ideas. Palmer has looked to make things happen on the ball and scored Chelsea's goal, but he needs more support. Nkunku has had just 12 touches, with Sterling lacking much of an end product on the left.

Wolves came from behind to lead Chelsea 2-1 in the first half at Stamford Bridge. The hosts dominated possession in the early stages and took the lead through Palmer, who netted his 10th goal of the season. The Blues combined with a neat passing move before Caicedo played a pass down the right side of the box to Palmer. The former Manchester City man kept his composure in front of goal, slotting his effort into the bottom-left corner. However, the hosts weren't ahead for long. Gomes won possession off Caicedo and rolled a pass over to Cunha on the left. The Brazilian moved inside before seeing his shot deflect off Silva to beat Petrovic. Sterling then lashed a strike well off target from a tight angle before O'Neil's men took the lead. Pedro surged down the right and sent a cutback into Ait-Nouri, whose shot from close range went in off Disasi for an own goal.

HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 1-2 WOLVES

Chilwell bursts forward from his left-back position and slides a pass down the left to Sterling, who is well offside. A reflection of Chelsea's attacking play in the first half.

The Wolves fans are certainly enjoying it in the away end. Chelsea, who looked in control after scoring, have conceded two deflected goals and now find themselves behind. Petrovic was given no chance with either of them.
