Monstrous Lemina
Mario Lemina was a force of nature for Wolves in midfield.
The hosts didn’t have much possession, so he tried to keep it tidy, but he was excellent in and around his box.
Blocking, tackling and reading the game.
Pochettino baffled by defeat
Mauricio Pochettino is struggling to understand how his team lost 2-1 to Wolves this afternoon.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “We feel very disappointed because we deserved much more.
“In the first half, we deserved to score, but we were not clinical, that is why it’s so disappointing.
“Second half, we concede after a few corners, and that’s why it was really difficult.”
Wolves 2-1 Chelsea – REACTION
No side has lost more Premier League matches in 2023 than Chelsea (19), while only Almería (24), SV Werder Bremen (20) and Empoli (20) have lost more games than the Blues across the big five European leagues this calendar year.
Wolves have won consecutive top-flight matches against Chelsea for the first time since March 1975 (a run of three) and are unbeaten in their last four against the Blues at Molineux (W3 D1).
Chelsea have lost four consecutive away Premier League games for the first time since December 2000 under Claudio Ranieri (a run of five).
Lemina wishes his dad well
Mario Lemina sent a very heartfelt message to his dad, who is currently in hospital.
Speaking to Sky Sports he said: “He’s been in the hospital for two months. He’s struggling.
“I wanted to be around him, but I need to do my work.
“But dad, keep pushing and we are altogether.”
Lemina and Doherty reflect on win
Wolves duo Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty were delighted with Wolves’ 2-1 win over Chelsea.
They have been speaking to Sky Sports about the result.
Lemina said: “The support we’ve got here is fantastic. We push all of the time.
“We are struggling away, but we are really happy to deliver this performance in front of our supporters.
“Amazing.”
And Doherty said: “I’ve managed to nick a goal at the end, which was very important.
“I tend to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
“Ever since we’ve come back to the Premier League our record against top-six teams is quite good.
“The atmosphere is great and we feel comfortable on our own pitch.”
