Wolves boss O’Neil: ‘How we made it easy for Chelsea’

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil made no excuses after their 6-2 home defeat to Chelsea.

O’Neil admits they struggled to live with Chelsea that day as Noni Madueke scored a hat-trick for the visitors.

He said: “From the 15th to 20th minute of play until half-time we were the better team. We were in a very good moment. We shot ourselves in the foot by letting them score from our goal kick and then after half-time we came out and gave ourselves a tough task.

“From there we couldn’t get control back and it’s tough emotionally, we’re out of shape and it looks open and easy for Chelsea.”

“It’s been a difficult start to the season for us,” added O’Neil, as he drew Arsenal with Chelsea. “We’ve got a lot of things to sort out and when we come up against teams that are more like us, we’ll cause them a lot of problems.”
