Chelsea are defeated in the historic and controversial pre-Christmas match against Wolverhampton

There will be no peace even on Christmas Eve for Chelsea. Pochettino's team has suffered a new defeat, in this case against Wolverhampton, by two goals to one and moves further away from the top positions in the British competition.

In the controversial match on December 24, the Blues dominated possession, but were unable to convert that dominance into scoring opportunities.. The Wolves not only took the lead but also scored the second shortly before Nkunku scored the winning goal for the Blues.

It is the eighth defeat of the league season for the Argentine coach. The Londoners are tenth with 22 points, 18 points behind the leader Arsenal and 14 from the Champions League places, which are marked by Tottenham with 36 points.

The Premier League has one of its most important days of the year on Boxing Day. December 26 is, in the English competition, a tradition that has been gaining weight until it has become one of its most exciting days.. It is a day designed for families where most games are played between noon and afternoon.

However, this season the English league wanted to continue exploiting these dates and, for the first time in 28 years, has decided to put a match on the eve of Christmas Day. “It shows a total lack of consideration and respect for the fans,” they expressed from a group of Wolves fans.

The opposition has been frontal from both fans. “Our message is clear, stop treating the audience without any respect,” expressed blues fans.. And they recalled that despite last season's attendance record in the English competition, with 15.2 million viewers, the Premier League continues to prioritize operators over fans.

The last match that was played on December 24 was Leeds – Manchester United, with victory for those from Elland Road, 28 years ago. And it was the only time, since the creation of the Premier League in 1992, that it has been played on this date. Given the criticism from fans, perhaps the competition will choose not to repeat this occurrence again.
