Jaded Chelsea will kick themselves after Wolves defeat - Cole

Joe Cole has said Chelsea appeared to be hindered by fatigue in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Wolves.

The Blues went ahead early in the second half through a goal from Olivier Giroud but squandered their lead in the last 20 minutes of the match, as Daniel Podence's effort took a deflection before evading Edouard Mendy for the equaliser.

Pedro Neto then sealed the three points for the hosts when he latched onto a pass from substitute Vitinha before smashing into the bottom corner deep into stoppage time.
