As the teams were announced pre-match, the announcer at Molineux said ‘Let’s get this Christmas party started’ and thanks to Mario Lemina’s second-half header and Matt Doherty’s injury-time finish, Christmas arrived early for the home faithful with a win over Chelsea.
Victory for Gary O’Neil’s side put them level on points with Chelsea and a late goal from Christopher Nkunku on his Premier League debut was ultimately nothing more than a consolation as Mauricio Pochettino’s side suffered their eighth league defeat of the season.
It’s fair to say there was little love for this fixture pre-match - the first Premier League game to be played on Christmas Eve since 1995.
