Tammy Abraham (Giroud 71’) – N/R, Struggled to get the better of Wolves’ defence. PA
WOLVES RATINGS: Rui Patricio - 5, The Portuguese stopper will be disappointed that he conceded from Olivier Giroud’s strike considering he got both hands on it. EPA
Willy Boly - 6, Should have been far more aggressive in his defending against Giroud for the opener. PA
Conor Coady - 7, Looked more comfortable at the heart of a back three and was solid in his defensive play. Reuters
Romain Saiss - 6, Showed plenty of resolve in his defensive play whenever Chelsea’s attackers went at him. AP
Nelson Semedo - 5, Some of his defending looked seriously poor, and he was lucky to get away with it. Booked for a late foul on Christian Pulisic. Reuters
Leander Dendoncker - 4, The game seemed to pass the Belgian by before he was substituted at half time. PA
Ruben Neves - 6, Had some speculative efforts from range but none of them turned into the spectacular strikes he’s so well known for. Reuters
Marcal - 6, Didn’t have much to do until Pulisic switched sides, but stood strong against the USMNT star. AFP
Pedro Neto - 7, Was a willing runner in behind and got his reward by scoring a late winner. Was adjudged to have dived after a VAR checked a penalty that was awarded. AP
Fabio Silva - 6, Showed great link up play and awareness at times but struggled physically. His goal was ruled out for a clear offside. Getty
Daniel Podence - 8, The Portuguese winger was Wolves’ biggest threat and deserved the goal that he carved out superbly. Was booked after a coming together with Chilwell. AP
SUBS: Owen Otasowie (Dendoncker HT’) - 6, Competed well on his Premier League debut and even won the header that helped Podence score Wolves’ goal. Getty
Adama Traore (Silva 61’) - 5, Picked up an injury just a couple of minutes after coming on and while he carried on this wasn’t his best display. PA
Vitinha (Podence 90‘) – N/R, Looked bright after coming on for the final few minutes and even assisted Neto’s winner. AFP
CHELSEA RATINGS: Edouard Mendy - 6, Didn’t have a chance of saving either of Wolves’ goals and didn’t have too much else to do. AFP
Reece James - 6, Showed some good quality when delivering the ball into the box, even if none of those crosses lead to a goal. AP
Kurt Zouma - 5, Should have ensured Neto had less space when the Portuguese winner scored the winner, having looked comfortable for most of the game. AFP
Thiago Silva - 6, Looked in complete control in most situations, displaying his experience. EPA
Ben Chilwell - 7, Did well bombing down the left wing and got his assist for the opening goal of the game. AFP
Kai Havertz - 4, Needs to think so much quicker when he’s on the ball than was the case in this match. AFP
N’Golo Kante - 6, Showed his brilliant awareness in the first half but seemed to fade a bit during the second half. Was booked for a foul on Kante. AP
Mason Mount - 6, Linked up with his teammates well but couldn’t quite create an opening for himself. Booked for a foul on Otasowie. AP
Christian Pulisic - 6, Was the main man injecting pace into the game in the first half but had nowhere near the same impact in the second. PA
Olivier Giroud - 7, Reacted superbly to convert Chilwell’s cross and score the opening goal of the game. AFP
Timo Werner - 5, The German’s general play was fairly good but he lacked any sort of clinical edge. AFP
SUBS Mateo Kovacic (Havertz 71’) – N/R, Tried to make things happen but couldn’t quite make the difference for Frank Lampard’s side. Reuters
