FA Cup match report: Wolves 0-2 Chelsea

“This year, especially in the Premier League, everyone is beating everyone”.

All things considered then, unless Wolves pull it out the bag and Chelsea under perform on the night, the Championship side should be set to an exit from the FA Cup by the end of the weekend.

As long as we play the game and not the occasion we’ll see what happens.

“We’ve got to stay in the game”.

“Don’t forget that I made seven changes from the last game”.

“Tomorrow the game won’t be easy”.

“In the FA Cup there are 16 teams”.

“We want to try to at the end win some trophies”.

The cutting edge in the final third proved the difference between the two sides as Chelsea claimed a 2-0 victory in front of a capacity crowd at Molineux.

And an hour later the hosts’ resilience was punctured when a clinical counter-attack concluded with Pedro heading in at the back post.

The beginning of the second period was a lot more quiet than the first, but Chelsea remained strong as they looked to chip away at their opponents. Gary Cahill scored the opening goal while Victor Moses scored the sixth. “Wolverhampton deserve my compliments for the performance”.

Asked about Lincoln, Conte was effusive in his praise.

But the FA Cup squad will not have the same speed, precision or internal rhythm – largely due to lack of experience playing together.

“They gave me a good answer”.

Conte has been on the losing side against Wolves manager Paul Lambert when they were both players, although Conte was injured and watching from the sidelines when a Borussia Dortmund team featuring Lambert beat Juventus to win the 1996/97 Champions League final. Conte was absent that day.

Wolves boss Paul Lambert commended the attitude of his team after their defeat.

Conte, however, insisted that it is still too soon to talk about about a potential double.

Chelsea never looked threatened by Wolves, as they comfortably cruised to a 2-0 win, sending them to the quarterfinals. He’s relentless. He’s a good man.

“They’re firing on all cylinders at the moment”.

“I am pleased for Pedro, for the team, and now we must continue in this way”, Conte added. Though, Blues manager Antonio Conte, 47, may rest David Luiz, 29, after the center-back struggled against Burnley, according to the Evening Standard.

“We needed that one to go in from George, but we went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in European football”.
