MATCH FACTS

Chelsea remain unbeaten against Wolves at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League (P8 W5 D3), only playing more home matches in the competition without ever losing against Middlesbrough (15), Fulham (15) and Stoke (10).

The Blues failed to win a Prem game in which they were 2+ goals ahead for the first time since October 2020 v Southampton (3-3), having won 24 consecutive such matches prior to today.

Chelsea have scored 70 goals in the Premier League this season – the first time they have hit this tally since their most recent title-winning campaign in 2016-17 (85 goals that term).

Wolves haven’t conceded a first-half goal in any of their last 17 away Premier League games – the longest such run in the competition’s history.

Conor Coady’s equaliser (96:29) was Wanderers’ second-latest ever Premier League goal since we have exact times available (from 2006-07), after Raul Jimenez v Burnley in August 2019 (96:55), while it was also the second-latest goal Chelsea have conceded in the competition during this period after Luis Suarez’s strike for Liverpool in April 2013 (96:30).

Romelu Lukaku scored his first league goals for Chelsea since netting in back-to-back games against Aston Villa and Brighton in December, ending a run of 10 appearances without finding the back of the net in the top flight.

Following his brace today (separated by just 138 seconds), Lukaku is now the Blues’ outright top scorer in all competitions this season with 14 goals.

Thirteen of the last 15 goals Chelsea have conceded in the Premier League have come in the second half.
