Pochettino apologises to Chelsea fans after defeat to Wolves

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has tendered an apology to the Chelsea fans after another defeat to Wolves in the Premier League.

The Blues suffered a 4-2 home loss to Wolves on Sunday and have dropped to the bottom half of the Premier League table.

The defeat to Wolves comes after Chelsea were also thrashed 4-1 by Liverpool last week.

Chelsea’s Argentine manager in a post-match statement said the “stress” of his difficult first season in charge at Stamford Bridge was having an impact on his young squad.

Cole Palmer’s 10th Premier League goal for Chelsea put them in front.

But Wolves secured their first win at Stamford Bridge since 1979 thanks to Matheus Cunha’s hat-trick, while Axel Disasi’s own goal rounded off Chelsea’s misery.

“When we scored the game was for us. Then when we concede we start to feel nervous and we didn’t manage well the stress,” said Pochettino.

“It was difficult to manage the team, the stress. We had chances for 2-2 but then we conceded the third. So disappointed, apologise to the fans and thanks to those who stayed and supported the team until the end. We are sorry and we are disappointed.

“Of course, I think we can change, we felt so disappointed after Liverpool and today it was 1-0 but (we made) too many mistakes which you can’t afford to in the Premier League.”
