A Christmas eve victory for Wolves unfolded as they defeated Chelsea 2-1 at Molineux on Sunday.
Mario Lemina secured a lead for Gary O’Neil’s team five minutes into the second half.
In stoppage time, Matt Doherty added another well-deserved goal, putting Wolves two goals ahead of Mauricio Pochettino’s team, who managed to cancel one of Wolves’ goals in the 95th minute.
Despite the triumphant win, Wolves needed to exert more effort to climb at least into the top five.
In comparison to Manchester City, currently in fifth place, Wolves required an additional 12 points to bolster their aspirations.
In the championship title contest, Arsenal and Liverpool shared two goals, earning one point each at Anfield in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Tottenham held on to secure a 2-1 victory over Everton, with Calvert-Lewin’s goal controversially disallowed by VAR due to a soft foul by Gomes on Emerson in the build-up.
Meanwhile, the Hatters stand just two points from safety after securing their third Premier League win of the season, defeating Newcastle 1-0 at Kenilworth Road.
On the same evening, Erik ten Hag’s team faced a comprehensive defeat, losing to West Ham by two goals.
