(Football news) Last Saturday, Eddie Howe’s team blasted Wolverhampton Wanderers for three goals without answering, while Chelsea nicked a point from Brentford in a 2-2 draw with the Bees to get back to winning ways.

At the Gtech Community Stadium last weekend, Mauricio Pochettino and co-owner Todd Boehly, who are both under fire from Chelsea’s fans, were the targets of foul-mouthed shouts as the Blues overcame their West London rivals to earn a point.

Thomas Frank’s side – vying for points at the wrong end of the Premier League table – had established a 2-1 lead thanks to Mads Roerslev’s effort and Yoane Wissa’s astounding acrobatic strike after Nicolas Jackson’s opener, but Axel Disasi arrived at the back post to head home the game’s fourth and final goal.

Amid fans’ anger and a handful of calls to replace Pochettino with the newly-unemployed Jose Mourinho, the former has conceded that he is not ‘feeling the love’ from the Blues faithful following an all-too familiar top-flight setback, meaning it is now just one win in five Premier League games for the fallen behemoths.

The Argentine’s side remain 11th in the table thanks to Fulham’s failure to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers, and should Chelsea play out a third Premier League draw on the bounce here, they will already match their points tally of 37 from the whole of their troubled 2022-23 campaign – a victory would therefore see the Blues better that shocking showing.

Few supporters will be jumping for joy if either of those scenarios come to fruition, though, especially following the announcement of a £90.1m pre-tax loss for 2022-23, and Chelsea arrive back in West London on an eight-game run without a clean sheet across all competitions, shipping 12 goals in their last five top-flight encounters.

Last Saturday, as Chelsea struggled to a point in the capital, one of their former youth products completed an impressive 3-0 victory for Newcastle against Gary O’Neil’s Wolves, who were behind 2-0 at halftime due to the efforts of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon in the pouring rain.

Any chance of a comeback from the visitors was virtually eliminated by the forced exits of Pedro Neto and Jose Sa. In the final moments, Howe’s team added Tino Livramento to their goal differential. Livramento played for Chelsea for 12 years without making a single appearance in the first team.
