In the 69th minute, when Wolverhampton were leading 3-1, the away fans sang mockingly to the home fans: "Your team is really bad". The Chelsea fans did not react, but joined in the chant. Because on the pitch, Chelsea were at a disadvantage, then conceded the fourth goal.

Chelsea took the lead through rising striker Cole Palmer, but they were behind before half-time. In the second half, striker Cunha completed a hat-trick, helping Wolverhampton surpass Chelsea on the scoreboard. Mauricio Pochettino's team suffered their 10th defeat in the Premier League this season, with almost no chance of finishing in the Top 4.
Chelsea have conceded four goals in two consecutive matches. The optimism that followed a three-game winning streak in late December and early January has evaporated at Stamford Bridge. Coach Pochettino has gradually welcomed back key players, including Christopher Nkunku, and the central midfield duo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, who cost a combined total of more than $250 million. However, Chelsea's situation has taken a turn for the worse.
