Chelsea fullback Chilwell admits: Wolves wanted it more

Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell says there's no excuses after their thrashing by Wolves.

Wolves thumped Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

"We can't hide," Chilwell told chelseafc.com, "it wasn't good enough.

"We started well and got the goal [through Cole Palmer] but then we conceded almost straightaway and then it just wasn't good enough for 70 minutes or so of the game.

"I think they showed that they 'wanted it' more than us. That's not to say that we didn't want it, but I think they just showed that bit more fight than us.

"There's no excuses but they seemed to win more duels, they seemed to run more than us and from when they scored the first goal, they just seemed to dominate. Like I said, there can be no excuses for this, and we need to put it right quickly."

He added, "We had chances in the game and it's up to us to take them.

"If we take them, then of course that could have helped us get back into the game We need to be more clinical, like Wolves were at the other end and I think that's probably what the difference was overall."
