Chelsea experienced a new disappointment this Sunday when they lost 2-1 at Wolverhampton, in the last match of the 18th round of the Premier League. With this eighth defeat of the league season, Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino is left in a delicate situation. His team is tenth in the table with 22 points, 18 points behind the leader Arsenal and 17 from the podium, which is completed by Liverpool (2nd) and Aston Villa (3rd). For their part, Wolves rise from fourteenth to eleventh place, now equal on points with Chelsea themselves and Bournemouth (12th). The three have ten points above the relegation zone, which is marked by Luton (18th).
In this Sunday’s match, the only one on the English league program, the ‘Wolves’ opened the scoring thanks to the Gabonese Mario Lemina, who scored with a header from a corner kick taken by the Spanish Pablo Sarabia, in the 51st minute. Matt Doherty, in the area, signed Wolverhampton’s second already at 90+3. Frenchman Christopher Nkunku, who had entered the game in the 58th minute, pulled one back for Chelsea at 90+6, scoring with a header from Raheem Sterling’s cross, but there was no time for the Londoners to avoid defeat.
