Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Madueke cuts inside from the right, but instead of looking for a team-mate, he blasts a poor effort well wide of Sa's right-hand post. The visitors need to do much better than that.

We will have a minimum of 11 minutes of stoppage time here! The home fans aren't pleased about that announcement!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
DANGER! Sa flaps at Madueke's right-wing cross but fortunately for Wolves, Doherty gets there ahead of Maatsen at the far post. The hosts will have plenty more defending to do, however…
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Doherty is playing ahead of Semedo on the Wolves right as they look to hold on for victory. Hwang is the lone attacker for the hosts as they sit in and dare Chelsea to break them down.

Wolves fail to make anything of the corner and Nkunku looks to break for Chelsea, but Semedo gets back to make a crucial clearance on halfway. Palmer then tries to work his way into the Wolves six-yard box, but he overruns it behind for a goal-kick.

Great play by Hwang, who spins his marker from a throw-in high on the Wolves right before seeing his cross cleared behind for a corner.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
ACTION AT BOTH ENDS! Wolves struggle to clear the corner as it's nodded up in the air inside the six-yard box, but Nkunku can't generate enough power as he sends a tame effort straight into the gloves of Sa. The Wolves 'keeper then spots Hwang all alone on the halfway line, begging to be played through on goal, but his long kick flies out of play, much to Chelsea's relief!
