Comments:

League position: 3rd Chelsea had now won one of their last five games at Stamford Bridge in all competitions (lost three). The Blues had now been drawing at half-time in 22 of their 35 games in the Premier League so far in 2021-22; the most in the division. Romelu Lukaku had now scored 200 league goals in his career. Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored in the 38th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 8th This was Wolverhampton Wanderers' first draw in the Premier League since Chelsea's visit to Molineux on 19 December 2021; longer than any other team currently in the division. 13 of Wolves’ last 22 games in the Premier League had now been goalless at half time. They avoided losing four consecutive games in the top division without scoring for the first time since April 1970 in League Division One.
