Christian Pulisic (Right winger): 6.5

Pulisic was perhaps Chelsea’s best player in the first half, but was more of a spectator in the second after he swapped wings with Timo Werner and moved onto the right side. He constantly looked threatening whenever he was on the ball and kept the Wolves defenders on their toes when he was on the left, Lampard’s preferred position for the American. If Chelsea is to recover from its recent slump in form, then Captain America most definitely will have a big role to play in it

Olivier Giroud (Striker): 6.5

For all the reputation that Giroud has built as a reliable impact substitute, he has done pretty well whenever he has been called upon from the start as of late. His goal, just after halftime, was the 14th in the last 15 games that he had been given the nod from the start. With the form he’s currently in, it would be no surprise to see Chelsea elect to keep him. He hasn’t exactly played well all match, but at the end of the day, you win with goals and Giroud brings them.

Timo Werner (Left winger): 4

Like his German compatriot, Werner also endured a frustrating day at the Molineux Stadium. He was highly inefficient in attack while also putting the defense under unnecessary pressure at times with the way he gave the ball away. His goal drought now stands at eight games, which is the longest he has gone without a goal in a long, long time.

Tammy Abraham (Striker): 5

Tammy Abraham came on for the final 20 minutes of the game as the Blues pushed forward in search of a goal, but was unable to have any significant contribution.
