See the player ratings below
Mendy: Would be disappointed for being beaten at his near post for the first goal and couldn’t do much for the second. 5/10
Reece James: Didn’t seem at his best with his deliveries tonight and was easily closed down at the right flank. 6/10
Thiago Silva: His clearance header landed at Podence’s feet for the hosts’ goal. Other than that, he did decently at the back. 6/10
Zouma: Hit the bar in the first half with a stunning header, but was easily beaten by Neto for Wolves dying minute goal. 5/10
Chilwell: Provided the assist for Olivier Giroud’s opener. Did okay in the first half, but his second half performance seemed to lack same bite as the first. 6/10
Kante: Did his normal job at working hard and clearing dangers in the middle of the park, but it somehow seemed like a disjointed performance from Chelsea in midfield nevertheless. 6/10
Mount: Worked hard as usual, but the final ball from midfield was missing tonight. 5/10
Kai Havertz: Yet another awful performance from the German who’s trying to get to grips with the Premier League. Seemed to give his best but he was just not good enough. 4/10
Pulisic: Back to the team after being out with hamstring worries. Started the game brightly, but faded out afterwards. 6/10
Timo Werner: This was a very poor night for the German. His passes were sloppy and he never flowed well with the forward players. 5/10
Giroud: Scored a good goal as he took Chilwell’s delivery with a one time left foot volley for Chelsea’s goal. Did a good job until he was subbed off. 7/10
Subs: Kovacic: Came on for Havertz with about 20 minutes left and produced some good runs with the ball. 5/10
Tammy Abraham: Really tried to work hard after replacing Giroud in the 71st minute, but lacked service. 5/10
