Chelsea held in Tuchel’s first match

Thomas Tuchel’s first match in charge of Chelsea ended in a 0-0 draw at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Chelsea controlled the early proceedings and Olivier Giroud narrowly failed to connect with Callum Hudson-Odoi’s teasing low cross.

After half-time, Chelsea continued to press for an opener, with Conor Coady pulling off two great blocks to deny Giroud.

At the other end, Pedro Neto chipped the ball over Edouard Mendy but his effort clipped the top of the crossbar.

Mateo Kovacic fired inches wide as Chelsea failed to find the breakthrough.

The result moves Chelsea up to eighth on 30 points, while Wolves are 13th on 23 points.
