Despite the match ending in a 1-1 draw, Wolverhampton fans had a great feeling of elation after the match. They are now on 7th position behind Chelsea who still have an outstanding match to Brighton. Wolverhampton this season have prove to everyone reason why they still need to remain in the premier league. It was a disappointing afternoon for Chelsea despite banging a late equalizer because a win for them would have move them to 3rd position in the league.
Wolverhampton failed to attack in the match as they sit back and watch Chelsea playing their SarriBall. Chelsea continue to dominate with possession but that is not enough to break the wall of Wolverhampton defense, Conor Coady, Willy Boly, Romain Saïss, Jonny and Leander Dendoncker all look determined and kept the Chelsea attarkers in their pockets throughout the whole 90 minutes.
It was a goalless draw before the half break as Rui Patrício denied Higuain shot and also made some good saves. Wolverhampton look like they are going to get their first win at Stamford bridge since 1979 when Raul Jimenez had a chance deflected off Cesar Azpilicueta.
Sarri had no choice than to change the game from 4-3-3 formation to 4-1-4-1 formation when he remove Jorginho, Pedro, Kovacic and bring in Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Callum Hudson-Odoi and finally Willian to get an equalizer. The change in plan finally work out in the additional minutes of the match when Hazard fired a long range shot into the bottom corner to cancel out Raul 56 minutes goal. Eden Hazard's equalizer now make him became the third player to score 50 premier league goal at the Bridge after Lampard and Drogba.
