Daniel Podence had a first-half tap-in
ruled out for offside and Leander Dendoncker spurned a glorious chance as
Wolves missed opportunities to grab a winner and Chelsea settled for a fourth
draw in eight league matches.
Chelsea traveled without at least eight
senior players but still managed to field a strong XI. The Blues again
struggled for fluency, however, eventually slipping six points behind leaders
and defending champion City, which beat Newcastle 4-0.
Chelsea said it was left “deeply
disappointed” by the Premier League rejecting its request to postpone the
Wolves trip, given their rising number of COVID-19 cases. -AP
