As envisioned after the announcements of the two line-ups, both sides canceled each other out in the opening exchanges of the game.

It looked like the goals, if they were to come, would be scored through some sort of a miscommunication or positional error. While a few of them did unfold due to the aforementioned, only a few would've expected Chelsea to split Wolves apart the way they did in the closing 15 minutes of the first half.

A lot of interceptions were made, both teams chipped in with a good level of press and popped up with tackles.

However, Tomori produced a shot of sheer brilliance from 35 yards out after a corner routine had gone horribly wrong for the visitors. Rui Patricio should have done a lot better with his placing, as he left himself wrong-footed by moving to his left.
