Kepa Arrizabalaga could have put out an armchair on a sunny Sunday afternoon at West London and played a few passes here and there.

With 78% possession and no shots faced, Chelsea completely dominated the pace of the game. But they clearly went into the tunnel as the unhappier side, due to their failure to break the deadlock.

Right from the furthermost player in Raul Jimenez to Saiss, Boly and Coady, Wolves showed 100% determination, stayed alive to every pass and forced the home. They stuck to their job and sucked the sting out of Sarri's men.

Meanwhile, Chelsea lacked the killer instinct, a telling pass. There were a few lofted passes from Jorginho here and there, but nothing other than that. The hosts moved it quickly and operated well, but there was no idea of urgency.
