FULL TIME Wolves 2-1 Chelsea A deserved win for Wolves, who didn't start the game well but grew into it and had some spells of dominance. Had to weather some really pressure late on but did so with only one major scares - that late Chelsea goal. #WWFC https://t.co/ajbJg6ItiR
It's 5-4-1 now for Wolves. Doherty ahead of Semedo, Doyle ahead of Ait-Nouri, Hwang up front on his own. #WWFC https://t.co/ajbJg6ItiR
12 minutes to go and quite a few Wolves players look to be out on their feet. The outfield subs remaining are Doherty, Hugo Bueno, Kalajdzic, Barnett, Chirewa and Hesketh. #WWFC https://t.co/ajbJg6ItiR
HALF TIME Wolves 0-0 Chelsea The visitors have had the better of the first half overall and should have taken the lead through Sterling. But Wolves have come on stronger as it's gone on and looked a threat too, especially in the last 15-20 minutes. #WWFC https://t.co/ajbJg6ItiR
Fabulous pass from Sarabia gets Hwang in behind Chelsea but he opts to take a first-time shot and it goes over. Wolves' best period of the game right now. Into first-half stoppage time. #WWFC https://t.co/ajbJg6ItiR
