Chelsea’s Unbeaten Streak Shattered by Underdog WolvesChelsea’s Unbeaten Streak Shattered by Underdog Wolves Chelsea’s remarkable unbeaten streak of 14 games came crashing down on Saturday as the Blues suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers. The visitors, who entered the match as significant underdogs, stunned the reigning European champions with a spirited performance at Stamford Bridge. Wolves struck first through Hwang Hee-chan’s well-taken finish midway through the first half. Chelsea struggled to find their rhythm as Wolves pressed high and disrupted their buildup play. Despite controlling possession, the Blues created few clear-cut chances. In the second half, Chelsea drew level through Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s header. However, Wolves refused to be denied and secured the winner in the 89th minute. Fabio Silva’s close-range strike sent shockwaves through the stadium and silenced the home crowd. The result ended Chelsea’s unbeaten run dating back to the end of September. It was also their first defeat at Stamford Bridge in almost a year. Wolves manager Bruno Lage hailed his team’s performance as “a historic moment.” “We worked hard, we believed in our abilities, and we deserved to win,” said Lage. “This is a special day for all of us.” Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admitted that his side were second-best on the day. “We were not at our best today,” said Tuchel. “Wolves played with great intensity and we couldn’t match their level. We will learn from this and come back stronger.” The defeat leaves Chelsea in second place in the Premier League, six points behind Manchester City. Wolves move up to eighth place with the victory.
