Meanwhile, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo was delighted to end a run of 12 league matches without a clean sheet.

Nuno said: “I am proud, everything starts from there, today we were a compact team, organised, bodies in front of the ball, doing everything to prevent Chelsea, we had chances but can do better.

“We were organised, closed the pockets, the line of the ball was always covered. Clean sheet, I am happy with the way the boys committed to the idea.

“We had a couple of chances but the game is more than that. That will come because the commitment is there. This is a starting point.

‘We recognised we wouldn’t have too much of the ball but that’s what the game needed.”
