Overview
- Chelsea led 3-0 at half-time through Andrey Santos, Tyrique George and Estevao before the tie turned chaotic.
- Wolves replied via Tolu Arokodare and David Moller Wolfe, then Jamie Gittens struck late before Wolfe made it 4-3 to set up a tense finish.
- Liam Delap, making his first appearance since August, received two yellows in seven minutes for fouls on Yerson Mosquera and Emmanuel Agbadou.
- The dismissal triggers a one-match suspension that rules him out of Saturday’s visit to Tottenham, with Enzo Maresca calling it “stupid” and “embarrassing.”
- Chelsea move into an away quarter-final at League One Cardiff in mid-December, as the red card marked their sixth in nine games this season.
