Chelsea may have lashed five past an otherwise robust Wolves back line, but one player didn't quite turn up for his side. And that man is the world's most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The young shot-stopper, who enjoyed a fantastic first season at Chelsea, keeping the third most clean sheets in the league, making world-class saves and smothering penalties away, has not lived up to his lofty expectations.

Kepa headed into this game after a promising couple of displays for his national side, but couldn't quite produce the same today.

He has a save percentage of less than 45 now in the league, which interestingly is the lowest among the 20 keepers in the division.

The first goal went in off a header to his left. Fair to say, the 24-year-old should have gobbled that up all day. He practices that sort of drill six days a week at Cobham.

Wolves' second got the Molineux on their feet, but there again, Kepa should have done better in parrying Matt Doherty's shot away.

He needs to start saving them and earn his first clean sheet, because not a lot went wrong defensively.
