Maurizio Sarri on Fulham vs Chelsea

Re-live the latest updates from the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers as the two sides shared the points at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea started the match just one place higher than Wolves in the Premier League table, but could mathematically end the day in fourth position if they could find a way to see off Nino Espirito Santo's side. However, it was Wolves that looked the more comfortable and they went ahead after the break when Raul Jimenez put the away side in front.

But Chelsea found a way back into the match at the death as Eden Hazard scored a beautifully-taken effort from the edge of the Wolves area to earn Chelsea a point. Re-live the action below.

What time does it start?

Chelsea vs Wolves kicks off at 2.05pm on Sunday March 10.

Might be lacking artistry on the pitch at the moment, but this is something.

Higuain has made some excellent movements today, and here comes another chance for the Argentine, but his header from Pedro's cross is harmless.

Peanlty shout! The croner is swung in and Raul Jimenez makes an absolutr hash of the clearance and he looks to kick it onto his arm.

Higuain is among the first to raise his own arms in appeal but nothing is given.

The groans from the home fans every time the ball is given away by a Chelsea player are becoming ever more audible.

It's been a frustrating afternoon so far for Sarri's men despite some intricate stuff up top at times.

Wolves look quite comfortable in all honesty, as another Chelsea attack ends with a misplaced pass and a goal kick.

The visitors have not offered anything up top, but there is much to admire about their defensive resilience so far.

First booking of the game as Matt Doherty brings down a flying Eden Hazard, who has been well marshalled by the Wolves defence so far.

Wolves have not scored on their last four visits to Stamford Bridge, and while that stat does not currently look like changing, their defensive solidity has improved since Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's hat-trick for the Blues against them in March 2004, with the Dutchman in attendance today.

GOAL

No no, he's offside and looks to control the ball with his arm, but that is some finish from Diogo Jota, who smashes home from 25 yards into the corner.

Couple of anxious moments for the Chelsea defence as a result of their own mistakes, but it is Wolves' turn to overhit a pass and the chance goes for Jimenez.

Having said that, Wolves nearly get themselves in a spot of bother when Boly heads a long ball into the centre of his own box, but Saiss clears with Higuain ready to pounce.
