With goals from Mario Lemina and Matt Doherty in the second half, Wolverhampton Wanderers extended their amazing home run to humiliate Chelsea on Christmas Eve, winning 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Lemina headed in a Pablo Sarabia corner six minutes after the break to give Wolves the lead after the first half ended goalless. Doherty then added a second goal in extra time to seal the victory, while Christopher Nkunku scored Chelsea’s first goal.

With 22 points, Wolves, who haven’t lost at home in the league since September, climbed to 11th place, level with Chelsea in 10th place but behind the London team on goal differential.
