United States Chelsea vs Wolves LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Lukaku scores twice
Chelsea are taking on Wolves at Stamford Bridge
(PA)
Chelsea FC are on the verge of a sale, with the club confirming in the early hours of Saturday that a deal had been struck with LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly.
Since Roman Abramovich put the Blues on the market in March there have been dozens of reports, interested parties and bids, with the Boehly bid - which also includes Hansjorg Wyss and Clearlake Capital - ultimately set to complete a deal worth £4.25bn in total. That constitutes £2.5bn to buy the shares of the club, along with a further £1.75bn committed to future spending in several areas including the women’s team, the academy and club infrastructure.
Details are still emerging over the full implications of the bid but a 10-year block on the sale of shares indicates this will be a long-term purchase, while the deal could go through around the end of the current Premier League season. Chelsea are in action on Saturday afternoon, with Thomas Tuchel’s side facing Wolves as they look to secure a top-four finish and a Champions League berth for next term in the process.

90+7 mins: CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
Wolves break in the final few seconds of the match and substitute Chiquinho delivers a wonderful cross from the right which Conor Coady heads in from close range!
Incredible comeback. Nothing more than the visitors deserve.

90+5 mins: Moutinho sends it into the middle but Chelsea head clear and Kovacic brings it away.
Kovacic looks up and finds Werner who forces a corner for his side.
That could well be it.

90+4 mins: You would imagine Chelsea can see this one out now. The relentless Wolves pressure of 10 minutes ago seems to have subsided somewhat.
Wolves have a free-kick on the halfway line and everyone is going forward.

90+3 mins: Reece James just caught Hwang’s foot as they contested for the ball. He’ll be OK.
Three minutes of stoppage time remain.

90+2 mins: A very nervy atmosphere inside Stamford Bridge as we enter the final stages of this match.
James feeds the ball to Havertz on the right-hand side of the penalty area. He cuts back onto his favoured left boot and then tries to sneak one inside the near post but it’s a way wide.
Now Hwang is down for Wolves. He will receive treatment. Not sure what happened.

90 mins: There will be SIX minutes of stoppage time. More than enough for Wolves to find an equaliser here.
Lukaku earns his side a free-kick on the halfway line and that is his final contribution this afternoon.
SUB! Lukaku strolls off for Havertz. A lovely day for Lukaku as he adds two goals to his tally after a difficult first season back in England.
Dylan Terry7 May 2022 16:51
90 mins: You wonder if Wolves have missed their chance to equalise late on here. Chelsea have regrouped a little and are in a more cohesive defensive shape now.
Kai Havertz is getting ready to come on fo the final few minutes.
Dylan Terry7 May 2022 16:50
88 mins: Wolves continue to flood players forward as Ait-Nouri does excellently to evade two or three Chelsea players before playing it out to the right. But Jonny’s cross is blocked by Sarr and the home side can break!
Werner storms through the middle of the pitch and into the area before Boly comes across to make the crucial challenge in the nick of time!
Like a basketball game.
Dylan Terry7 May 2022 16:48
87 mins: Another chance for Wolves! The visitors keep their attack going after the corner comes to nothing. Jimenez plays a neat one-two with Boly and then rifles his shot wide from the edge of the box. Should have done better.
SUB! Chelsea make a change as they look to stop this Wolves momentum. Malang Sarr replaces Cesar Azpilicueta.
Dylan Terry7 May 2022 16:47
85 mins: SO CLOSE! Oh, what a chance for 2-2!
Jimenez flicks the ball into Trincao with a wonderfully deft touch. The substitute is in on goal but pokes his tame effort too close to Mendy and the Chelsea keeper can turn it away for a corner.
All Wolves.
