Azpilicueta does enough to prevent Poly scoring a header from a Wolves free-kick.
75'
Alonso's shot is deflected behind for a corner. 15 to play. Wolves deal with the set-piece effectively.
74'
Pulisic wins a clever free-kick from Coady on the edge of the penalty, on the right. This is a chance for The Blues to seal it.
73'
Moutinho and Jota exchange passes, but the latter doesn't get enough on his pass to find Podence as Zouma rescues the situation.
70'
Play resumes and Chelsea spring an immediately. Alonso finds a way past Traore but the Wolves wing-back recovers to prevent his cross.
68'
GOAL UPDATE: Bruno Fernandes has given Manchester United the lead against Leicester. As it stands, Chelsea would finish fourth.
67'
And with that, it's time for a drinks break.
66'
Finally, Traore has a chance to demonstrate his attacking abilities as he races down the right. It's superb tracking back from Kovacic, though, as he gets between the man and ball and sees the ball out for a goal-kick.
65'
Traore, playing as a wing-back, is operating very defensively. That's not where Santo will want him.
