Chelsea and Wolves played out a contender for the game of the season, following the 8-goal thriller at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

It was a thrilling game for the neutral, as the first-half ended in a 2-2 draw.

Enzo Maresca was quick to change things at the break, as he took off Mykhailo Mudryk at half-time for Pedro Neto, who signed from Wolves a fortnight ago.

Enzo Maresca has revealed he wasn’t pleased with the performance of Mykhailo Mudryk.

Asked why he brought Mudryk off, Maresca replied: “I was not happy.

“I think in some moments we can manage better situations. He was working very hard off the ball and I think that was good.

“In terms of on the ball, I expect more quality from Mudryk but he had some good moments the other day, some today, but another reason was to change and give Pedro (Neto) some minutes.”
