Chelsea suffered their third defeat in four Premier League matches as second-half goals from Mario Lemina and Republic of Ireland's Matt Doherty secured Wolves a well-deserved 2-1 victory at Molineux.
Lemina nodded in unmarked from Pablo Sarabia's corner early in the second half, a fair reward after Gary O’Neil's team endured early pressure and the visitors missed numerous chances, notably from Raheem Sterling.
Meanwhile, Chelsea fans are calling the high-ups to sack manager Mauricio Pochettino as the club continue to go down under him.
On the other hand, Pochettino admitted his Chelsea team need to be more clinical after an eighth Premier League defeat of a tepid campaign.
This was another day when Chelsea's failings in attack came back to haunt them. They have now have failed to convert 36 big chances in the league this season - the most of any team.
Pochettino said: "We feel very disappointed because I think we deserve much more. This competition wounds you when you are not clinical enough.
"We created chances, that is why it is so disappointing. We conceded after a few corners and it was really difficult.
"We have players playing for the first time in the league, they need to adapt. It is confidence and about quality. We need to score if we want to win the games."
The result leaves the club 10th, seven points off qualification for the Europa Conference League, which, even at this stage, looks the best the Londoners can hope for.
No side has lost more Premier League matches in 2023 than Chelsea (19), while only Almeria (24), Werder Bremen (20) and Empoli (20) have lost more games than the Blues across the big five European leagues this calendar year.
Wolves are now level on points with Pochettino's men after a battling display, although the victory came at a price as experienced defender Craig Dawson limped off during the second half with what appeared to be a serious injury.
