Chelsea clashed heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium earlier today as they hoped to earn a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Blues made a disappointing start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 31st minute when Matheus Nunes got his name on the scoresheet. Frank Lampard’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
The West London club failed to mount a comeback in the second half and suffered a lackluster 1-0 loss away from home.
Let’s take a look at how each Chelsea player performed during the match against Wolves.
GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga – 6.5/10
He made a few crucial saves at the back but won’t be happy after conceding a goal in the first half.
RB: Reece James – 8/10
James came back to defend when needed and managed to create a handful of promising chances in the final third.
CB: Wesley Fofana – 7/10
The French talent didn’t do much wrong at the back and was good on the ball as well.
CB: Kalidou Koulibaly – 8/10
Koulibaly made a lot of important contributions on the defensive end of the field but it was not enough in the end.
LB: Marc Cucurella – 6/10

RW: Raheem Sterling – 6/10
He had some joy down the right flank but struggled to threaten the Wolves goal.
ST: Kai Havertz – 7/10
The German sensation worked hard at both ends of the field but lacked quality in front of the opponent’s goal.
