Chelsea 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2018-19

#3 Chelsea press for the opener but Wolves take the lead through Jimenez

Luck favors the brave, as they say

Chelsea began the second half just as they did in the opening exchanges of the game - press for the opening goal by churning out pass after pass after pass.

They were unable to break through, as the tempo of the game was just as pedestrian-like as their exploits in the first half. However, just as it happens many a time in modern-day football, the away side took the lead from their very first effort on target. It was fortuitous, but they didn't quite care.

The ball ricocheted off a couple of Chelsea shirts before Diogo Jota sprung away for a counter-attack. The ever-so-willing Raul Jimenez, who was probably the hardest worker off the ball, got away from one blue shirt.

Cesar Azpilicueta was the one tracking back, and despite the Chelsea skipper's timely challenge, the ball nicked his foot and ended up in the back of the net. Kepa, who had not even dirtied his gloves, ended up being the one who conceded a scruffy goal.
