In the game's first two minutes, Pedro Neto wins the ball back and dribbles into the box. He takes a low shot toward the near post, but Petrovic makes the vital save. Two minutes later, Nkunku almost scores for Chelsea after he runs to a loose ball in the box, touching it past Jose Sa and trying to score from a tight angle.

After Wolves had more shots than Chelsea, the London side got the opener. Moises Caicedo passes an amazing ball to Palmer who runs into the box and shoots the ball low into the bottom left corner.

The celebrations didn't last long, as two minutes later, the Wolves found the equalizer. Gomes wins the ball in the middle of the park and passes it to Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian takes a shot towards the net, and the ball deflects off Thiago Silva. Petrovic did not react in time as the ball crept into the net to make it 1-1.
