How it happened
After 28 years without Premier League football on Boxing Day, the Chelsea vs. Wolves clash offered an uninspiring start.
The first half lacked chances, with the breakthrough coming just after the half-hour mark when Raheem Sterling's effort was saved.

Wolves grew into the game before halftime, and Hwang Hee-chan came close to a surprise lead.
In the second half, Mario Lemina guided in Sarabia's corner, putting Wolves ahead.
Chelsea's late efforts, including a stoppage-time goal by Nkunku, weren't enough to prevent Wolves from securing a 2-1 victory, leveling points with Chelsea heading into Christmas.
