Chelsea couldn't treat themselves to a Christmas present when they visited Wolves. The Blues lost 2-1 and continue to struggle in the Premier League. Red Devil Romeo Lavia (19), who has regained fitness after an ankle injury, was in the matchday squad for the first time this season, but did not come off the bench.
Sunday was Romeo Lavia's first day at school. The young Red Devil, who came from Southampton last summer for 60 million euros, was allowed to sit on the bench at Chelsea for the first time after months of injuries.
Lavia saw how his team did not start convincingly. The London side had the best chance of a sluggish first half through Sterling, but the England international snuffed it out.
After the break, a classic shot in the arm followed: Lemina took the lead with Wolves' header from a corner kick. Chelsea responded with chances for Sterling and substitute Nkunku, but he was unable to pass the ball.
In extra time another big sound for 'The Blues' followed. Doherty secured the home team the three points. Nkunku's goal in the 96th minute did not change that. In the standings, Chelsea continues to falter in tenth place. Wolves are ranked eleventh with the same number of points.
