In this Saturday, Chelsea and Wolverhampton faced each other for the 36th round of the English Premier League. At Stamford Bridge, Thomas Tuchel’s team even opened 2-0, with goals from Lukaku, but saw Bruno Lage’s men equalize with goals from Trincao and Coady, being the second in the final moments.
With the result, the Blues reach 67 points and guarantee the maintenance in the third position of the table. Wolves are in eighth place, with 50.
Thomas Tuchel fielded the following team: Mendy; Azpilicueta (Sarr), Thiago Silva and Rudiger; Reece James, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic and Alonso (Saúl Ñíguez); Lukaku (Havertz) and Werner.
In the first half, Chelsea came to score with Loftus-Cheek. However, after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed for offside.
In the second stage, the goals came. In the ninth minute, Saiss brought down Lukaku in the area and the penalty was awarded after a new VAR check. The Belgian striker himself took the kick and opened the scoring.
Three minutes later came the second. The Wolves defense came out playing wrong and Pulisic activated Lukaku, who sent a great kick from outside the area.
At 33, Trincao decreased for the visitors. In a counterattack, the Portuguese took from the right to the middle, cut a defender and sent it into Mendy’s angle.
Six minutes into stoppage time, Wolverhampton drew level. After the ball crossed in the area, defender Coady sent it with a head to the back of the net.
