Comments:

League position: 6th Eden Hazard became the third player to score 50 goals in home games for Chelsea in the Premier League after Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba. The Blues failed in their attempt to win three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2018. They remained as the only team who had yet to have a player sent-off so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 7th Wolverhampton Wanderers failed in their attempt to become the first promoted team to complete a league double in the Premier League over Chelsea since Charlton Athletic in 2000-01. Raúl Jiménez had now equalled the club record for scoring the most goals in a Premier League season (also 12 goals by Steven Fletcher in 2011-12). Wolves had now kept two clean sheets in their 15 away games so far in this Premier League season.
