Mason Mount scored the first goal through a controversial free-kick from 25-yards. It was a similar situation When Chelsea conceded second goal against Liverpool, which spiralled into a side-line confrontation between coaching staffs of two teams. Mount’s goal from the free-kick left Chelsea manager with an awkward smile.

But he erupted into joy, when Giroud scored showing a great alacrity and improvisation in front of the goal within 130 seconds.

Chelsea vs Wolves – Results

Wolves went into the game wanting to secure Europa League football for the next season and they will be thoroughly disappointed with the outcome. 

Spurs have overtaken them in the sixth place and Wolves will now have to win the Europa League or wait for Chelsea to win the FA Cup in order to play European football next season. 

Wolves drop to seventh on 59 points, below Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference. 

Chelsea finished the season fourth, with 66 points. They will be hoping to build on this and challenge for the title next year.

Despite a transfer ban and Eden Hazard’s departure, Lampard has managed to steer them into the top four and it is a praiseworthy achievement from the former Blues midfielder. 

As for Wolves, they will have to improve their defence over the summer in order to break into the top four next season.
