'Far from impressed' - National media react as Chelsea begin Todd Boehly era with Wolves draw

Chelsea were handed a damaging setback in the race for Champions League qualification as Wolves held the Blues to a 2-2 draw. Conor Coady's glancing header in the dying embers rescued a point for Bruno Lage's side.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek thought he had opened the scoring for the west Londoners with the first of the Todd Boehly era, though his effort was soon ruled out due to offside. Romelu Lukaku eventually opened Chelsea's account with a penalty moments into the second half.

The 28-year-old, who has struggled to acclimatise to the Premier League since his return in the summer, doubled the Blues' lead just minutes later. But, Francisco Trincão pulled one back for the visitors before Coady found a pocket of space to beat Edouard Mendy in injury time.
