Christopher Nkunku scored a consolation goal for Chelsea, marking his first goal with the London club since his transfer at the start of the season, but coach Mauricio Pochettino's team could not find the equalizer, suffering their eighth loss in the league this season. The victory pushed Wolverhampton up to 11th place, level on points with Chelsea in 10th, both teams having 22 points, but Wolverhampton is behind on goal difference.
