Before the inquest into Chelsea’s latest implosion begins, it is worth pointing out that Wolves were outstanding. Gary O’Neil, such a bright young manager, outwitted a glowering Mauricio Pochettino.
Matheus Cunha, who scored a ruthless hat-trick, and Pedro Neto destroyed Chelsea’s feeble defence. Mario Lemina and João Gomes dominated their expensive opponents in midfield. Craig Dawson was a tower of strength at the back. Rayan Aït-Nouri never stopped running on the left.
